Comparison of Physical Activity Training Using Augmented Reality and Conventional Therapy on Physical Performance following a Total Knee Replacement: A Randomized Controlled Trial

There is growing interest in using augmented reality (AR)-based training for rehabilitation programs, while it remains unclear whether physical exercises AR can be more effective than conventional therapy patients with total knee replacement (TKR). This study, therefore, aimed to compare the effects of AR-based therapist-based on performance early-stage after a TKR. It was double-blind randomized controlled trial repeated measures (pre-surgery, post-surgery, and post-intervention). Twenty-four participants TKR were allocated either or training. Both groups received program 30 min per session, three sessions week, four weeks. The outcome included range motion (ROM), muscle strength, balance, perceived pain. results showed significant improvements all measured outcomes both (p < 0.05). However, despite our hypothesis that ART would TKR, no differences found between two groups. While there some evidence showing performing could improve surgery, comparison did not show superior effectiveness. used provide real-time feedback motivation appropriate home-training programs.
