Smart knee brace rehab versus usual physical therapy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares recovery after primary knee replacement using a smart knee brace and app versus standard outpatient physical therapy. It may help you understand which rehab approach leads to better comfort and mobility during recovery.
