Summary
This study looks at whether using a wrist activity tracker, plus coaching and financial rewards, can help people become more physically active after total knee replacement surgery. About 600 adults aged 40-85 who are scheduled for knee replacement will be randomly assigned to usual care, a tracker alone, or a tracker with coaching and rewards. The main goal is to see if more people in the coaching group reach 150 minutes of moderate activity per week by 32 weeks after surgery.
