Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows no difference in physical activity after total knee replacement despite feedback and tracking.

Key Points

  • A physical therapist-administered intervention resulted in similar MVPA increases compared to control.
  • Median MVPA increased 6.0 minutes daily in the intervention, and 5.9 minutes in control over 6 months.
  • Randomized controlled trial assessed outcomes in 120 adults after total knee replacement.
  • Findings suggest wearable tracking and feedback may not enhance activity post knee osteoarthritis intervention.
