Knee pain diagnosis goes digital: study tests video physio accuracy

NCT ID NCT07212920

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a physiotherapist can accurately diagnose subacute knee injuries (lasting 1 week to 3 months) using a video consultation instead of an in-person exam. Researchers will compare three types of assessments: video-based, in-person without special knee tests, and the standard in-person exam with specific tests. The goal is to see if remote assessments are reliable enough to guide treatment, potentially making care more convenient for patients. The study plans to enroll 138 adults with knee pain.
