NCT ID NCT07187024
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a telehealth program called mCare PTOA for people who have had ACL knee surgery. The program includes five educational modules on joint health, self-care, weight management, physical activity, and work strategies. Researchers will compare knee function and readiness to manage arthritis between a group using the app and a control group. The goal is to see if this approach helps improve outcomes after knee injury.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mCare PTOA telehealth intervention (educational modules on joint health, self-management, weight, activity, and occupational management)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, home-based way to help people with knee injuries better manage osteoarthritis and stay active.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 65 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits depend on individual engagement.
