Katrina F. Mateo (2020) studied Elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) (n=88). Hospital Fit (smartphone app plus accelerometer) vs. Standard physiotherapy with accelerometer without feedback was evaluated on Time spent physically active (minutes standing and walking) per day until discharge (reported for postoperative day 1) (MD 28.43 minutes, 95% CI 5.55-51.32). The use of a smartphone app combined with an accelerometer increased the time spent standing and walking by an average of 28.43 minutes on postoperative day 1 compared to standard care.
