AI video aims to ease fear of moving after knee replacement
NCT ID NCT07694895
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence-assisted educational video can reduce kinesiophobia (fear of movement) and improve readiness for hospital discharge in people undergoing total knee replacement. Half of the 72 participants will watch the AI video before their first post-surgery movement, while the other half receives standard verbal instructions. The goal is to see if the video helps patients feel more confident and prepared to go home.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- artificial intelligence-assisted mobilization education video
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could reduce fear of movement and help patients feel more prepared to go home after knee replacement surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The video may not significantly change outcomes compared to standard verbal education.
