Collaborative-care Intervention to Promote Physical Activity After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis

In brief

The investigators have learned that knee replacement patients are not more physically active after surgery. This is true even though their pain is less compared to before surgery. This low level of physical activity is not healthy. It can increase the chances of weight gain, which can create other issues. It can also lessen physical function. Some studies have looked at physical activity feedback systems to increase how active people are. Studies have investigated face to face patient group meetings for this,too. These systems and meetings can increase physical activity. The investigators will study the effects of a physical activity monitors with group meetings after knee replacement. The investigators hypothesize that physical activity levels and physical function will increase. The investigators goal is to help knee replacement patients lead healthier lives and maintain or enhance their physical function.
