Total knee replacement (TKR) is a successful and cost-effective treatment for end-stage arthritis. Its usage is increasing due to changing population demographics and quality of life (QoL) expectations. There were almost 100,000 total knee replacements (TKR) performed in England between 2018/19. After TKR, patient engagement in their rehabilitation exercises is very important but physiotherapy services are very stretched at present especially in the covid-19 era. Patient compliance with their exercises is poor at about 25%. The use of wearable sensors (WS) following TKR is gaining lots of interest especially in…
