Mymobility Knee ROM

This prospective study aims to evaluate the agreement, also referred as concordance, of the mymobilty knee ROM with a clinician's assessment of knee ROM via goniometer.

Telerehabilitation Versus Clinic-Based Rehabilitation for Functional Recovery Following Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if rehabilitation delivered by telehealth works as well as rehabilitation delivered in person at a clinic, for people recovering from total knee replacement surgery. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does rehabilitation by video call lead to knee-related quality of life that is just as good as rehabilitation completed in person at a clinic? Researchers will compare a telehealth group to a clinic group to see if telehealth rehabilitation works as well as in-person rehabilitation. Participants will: * Take part in 9 rehabilitation sessions over 6 weeks, either by video call from home or in person at a clinic * Follow a home exercise program using an online app * Answer questions about their knee and daily activities before surgery, and again at 7 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery * Have their knee movement and physical abilities, such as walking speed and climbing stairs, measured by a therapist before surgery, and again at 7 weeks, and 12 months after surgery

Regional Anesthesia in TKA: Impact on Postoperative Joint Motion and Patient Satisfaction

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial aiming to evaluate the effects of different regional anesthesia/analgesia techniques on postoperative knee range of motion (ROM) and patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Ninety patients undergoing elective TKA under spinal anesthesia will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) spinal anesthesia with epidural catheter, 2) spinal anesthesia followed by adductor canal catheterization, and 3) spinal anesthesia with multimodal intravenous analgesia. The primary outcome is postoperative knee joint ROM measured on postoperative days 1, 2, and 3. Secondary outcomes include patient satisfaction, Oxford Knee Score, postoperative opioid consumption, and VAS scores. The study is conducted at Konya City Hospital and will be completed over a 6-month period.
