Using Early Gait Data From a Smart-Enabled Total Knee Arthroplasty to Identify Patient Function and Activity at 90 Days Postoperative

Key Points

• Gait data can reasonably predict recovery class 90 days after total knee arthroplasty, which may enhance patient outcomes.
• Functional recovery is closely linked to kinematic modeling in early postoperative stages, with implications for treatment.
• Assessment of early gait dynamics helps tailor interventions during the crucial recovery phase, improving patient satisfaction.
• Kinematic data offers a novel approach to understanding recovery trajectories, encouraging personalized rehabilitation efforts.
