Foot stimulation for faster sitting and walking after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle stimulation under the foot of your surgical leg, done while standing on different surfaces, can help you get up from a chair faster and walk better soon after knee replacement. It may help improve your recovery of daily movements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special balance exercises on a platform can help people who have recently had a knee replacement walk better and feel steadier.
This study uses special insoles to measure how you walk before and after a knee replacement. The goal is to see if these measurements can help predict how well you will recover after surgery.
This study tests if adding a gentle electrical stimulation (called NMES) to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength faster after knee replacement surgery. It is for patients who go to specific UCHealth or Intermountain Health therapy clinics after their first total knee replacement.
This clinical trial is testing whether a special electrical stimulation therapy applied to the muscles of the lower back can improve spine and pelvic alignment in people who are having knee replacement surgery. If you have knee arthritis and also have spine/pelvis alignment problems, this therapy might help you stand straighter and recover more comfortably after surgery.
This study observes how people use wheeled devices (like walkers) after a total knee replacement. It helps doctors understand what patients need during recovery.
This trial tests whether doing special foot exercises can improve recovery in people who have had a total hip replacement. It might help with walking and balance.
