AI-based Rehabilitation for Hip and Knee Surgery Patients

概要

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an AI-based home rehabilitation application ("Exersite Rehab") for patients who have undergone hip or knee arthroplasty(Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) or hip fracture surgery). Following surgery, effective rehabilitation is crucial for functional recovery; however, many patients face barriers to consistent in-hospital exercise. This interventional study divides participants into two groups to compare outcomes. The experimental group will perform a 12-week home-based rehabilitation program guided by an AI application that provides real-time posture correction and monitoring. In contrast, the control group will perform the same exercise protocol using traditional printed educational brochures.The primary objective is to determine if the AI-based digital healthcare solution significantly improves physical function, measured by the Functional Ambulatory Category(FAC), compared to conventional methods. Secondary outcomes including pain levels(Visual Analog Scale (VAS)) and joint-specific functional scores (Knee Society Score (KSS), Harris Hip Score (HHS)) will also be assessed over the 12-week period.
