Abstract

100,000 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures take place in the United Kingdom annually [1], and 94% of these procedures occur in individuals 50 years and older [2]. Clearly, the need for home-based rehabilitation is high, however, compliance is poor [2]. MotionSenseTM (Stryker, US) is a wearable technology that remotely supports post-operative TKA rehabilitation. MotionSenseTM continuously monitors knee motion remotely, enabling healthcare professionals to provide personalised rehabilitation. However, validation of this device against a known kinematic model in activities of daily living is important for confident interpretation of resulting clinical data. The aim of this study therefore was to validate the accuracy of MotionSenseTM against a clinical motion capture standard.
