Can cash and coaching get knee replacement patients moving?

NCT ID NCT04107649

Summary

This study is testing whether adding activity trackers, phone coaching, and financial rewards to standard recovery care can help people become more physically active after knee replacement surgery. Researchers enrolled 600 adults who had knee replacement for arthritis and randomly assigned them to receive either basic care, activity trackers, or trackers plus coaching and incentives. The goal is to see if these extra supports help patients meet recommended activity levels and improve their quality of life.
