About this study
Official title: The Effects of Mir Shakeel Teleintegrated Therapy Plan and Conventional Physical Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion, Gait, Functional Outcomes and Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed Modified Structured Telerehabilitation Intervention Protocol (MSTITP) compared with conventional in-person physical therapy in patients recovering from Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The study also explores whether a hybrid rehabilitation approach may further optimize patient outcomes.
A total of eligible participants aged 50-65 years who have undergone primary TKA will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
Read more
Group A (Intervention): Telerehabilitation-based structured exercise program (MSTITP) delivered through digital platforms with remote supervision.
Group B (Control): Standard conventional face-to-face physiotherapy in a clinical setting.
Both groups will receive rehabilitation programs of equal duration focusing on pain management, range of motion (ROM), muscle strengthening, gait training, and functional mobility.
The primary objective is to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation and conventional therapy in improving pain, ROM, and gait performance. Secondary objectives include evaluation of exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, functional outcomes, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. Additionally, the study will explore whether integrating telerehabilitation with conventional rehabilitation could provide superior outcomes.
Outcome assessments will be conducted using validated tools including pain scales (VAS), goniometric ROM measurements, gait analysis, functional performance tests, and standardized questionnaires for quality of life, exercise adherence, and fear of movement.
This study addresses the increasing burden of osteoarthritis and the growing number of TKA procedures in Pakistan. Telerehabilitation may offer a cost-effective, accessible, and scalable rehabilitation model that ensures continuity of care and improved access to physiotherapy services, particularly in resource-limited settings.
The findings of this trial are expected to provide evidence for developing standardized, technology-assisted rehabilitation protocols to improve post-TKA recovery outcomes and reduce healthcare burden.
Read the detailed description
This study is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial designed to compare the clinical effectiveness of a Modified Structured Telerehabilitation Intervention Protocol (MSTITP) with conventional in-person physical therapy in patients following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The study also investigates whether a digitally supported rehabilitation model can serve as an effective or superior alternative to traditional physiotherapy care.
Participants will be recruited from post-operative TKA patients who meet eligibility criteria and provide informed consent. Eligible participants will be adults aged 50-65 years who have undergone primary unilateral TKA and are medically stable for rehabilitation. Participants with neurological disorders, revision surgeries, or contraindications to exercise will be excluded.
Following enrollment, participants will be randomly allocated into two equal groups:
Group A - Telerehabilitation (MSTITP)
Participants will receive a structured, progressive rehabilitation program delivered remotely via telecommunication platforms. The intervention will include:
Supervised exercise sessions conducted through video-based guidance Home-based progressive strengthening exercises Range of motion training protocols Gait re-education strategies Functional task-oriented exercises Regular remote monitoring and feedback from a physiotherapist
The protocol is designed to enhance accessibility, improve adherence, and ensure continuity of care in a home-based environment while maintaining clinical oversight.
Group B - Conventional Physiotherapy
Participants will receive standard postoperative rehabilitation through direct, face-to-face sessions in a clinical setting. Treatment will include:
Therapist-supervised exercise therapy Manual guidance for ROM improvement Strengthening exercises Gait training Functional mobility training Both groups will receive rehabilitation over an equal intervention duration to ensure comparability.
Outcome Measures
Participants in both groups will be assessed at predefined follow-up intervals using validated outcome measures.
Primary Outcomes:
Pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale - VAS) Knee Range of Motion (goniometric measurement) Gait performance and functional ambulation
Secondary Outcomes:
Functional performance (standardized functional tests) Exercise adherence levels Kinesiophobia (fear of movement) Health-related quality of life Patient satisfaction with treatment
Data will be analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to compare within-group and between-group differences over time. Intention-to-treat analysis will be considered to handle dropouts and maintain methodological rigor.
Rationale and Clinical Importance
Osteoarthritis is a major and increasing public health concern in Pakistan, contributing to a rising number of total knee arthroplasty procedures. This has created a significant demand for effective, accessible, and cost-efficient postoperative rehabilitation strategies.
Telerehabilitation represents an emerging model that may overcome barriers such as geographic limitations, limited physiotherapy access, financial burden, and poor adherence to clinic-based rehabilitation. By enabling structured rehabilitation in home settings with professional supervision, it has the potential to improve continuity of care and functional recovery.
This trial is expected to generate context-specific evidence regarding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in a Pakistani healthcare setting and may contribute to the development of standardized postoperative rehabilitation guidelines for TKA patients. The findings may also support integration of hybrid rehabilitation models into routine clinical physiotherapy practice, ultimately improving functional outcomes and reducing healthcare system burden.
