Efficacy of smart wearable device BPMpathway in home rehabilitation of patients after total knee arthroplasty

Abstract

Abstract:

Objective ·To evaluate the effectiveness of the tele-rehabilitation program based on the smart wearable device BPMpathway in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods ·Convenience sampling method was used to select patients with knee osteoarthritis after TKA admitted to both the Department of Orthopedics in the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital) and The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, from April 2021 to December 2022, as the study population. According to the sequence of the patients′ admissions, patients with an odd hospitalization number were allocated to the control group while those with an even number to the intervention group. The control group received the routine home-based rehabilitation training program, while the intervention group was additionally subjected to the tele-rehabilitation program based on the BPMpathway. At baseline, and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after TKA, the two groups of patients were evaluated by the compliance scale of functional exercise for orthopedic patients, the Hospital for Special Surgery Scale (HSS), and 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), while the knee joint motion of the patients was measured. Results ·One hundred and ten patients with knee osteoarthritis after TKA were finally enrolled, including 56 patients in the control group and 54 patients in the intervention group. There were no statistically significant differences in the general information between the two groups. The differences in knee range of motion, HSS score, and SF-36 score between the two groups at baseline were not statistically significant. Repeated measurement variance analysis showed that the between-group effect, time effect and interaction effect of knee range of motion, functional exercise compliance score, HSS score and SF-36 total score were statistically significant in both groups (all P<0.05). Meanwhile, knee range of motion, HSS score, functional exercise compliance score, and SF-36 score in the intervention group were significantly better than those in the control group at 1, 3, and 6 months after TKA (all P<0.05). Conclusion ·The tele-rehabilitation training program, conducted by healthcare providers using the smart wearable device BPMpathway, can enhance patients′ compliance with functional exercise during home rehabilitation after TKA. This leads to increased knee mobility, contributes to the recovery of knee function and improves quality of life of the patients. All of these factors have a positive effect on the patient prognosis.
