This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether an AI-based exercise app (Kemtai) can help people recover faster after total knee replacement surgery. The app tracks your movements and gives real-time feedback, unlike the standard paper handout. Researchers will measure how long people stay in the hospital and how many physiotherapy visits they need. The study involves 40 adults scheduled for knee replacement at two UK hospitals.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Kemtai digital app (AI-based motion tracking exercise programme)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help people recover faster after knee replacement surgery with less need for in-person physiotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app requires a compatible device and internet access, which could limit use.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults aged ≥18 years. 2. Referred to Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust t for Knee Arthroplasty at either Castle Hill Hospital or Goole District Hospital and has access to pre operative resources offered by the joint school physiotherapists. 3. Has access to a device which is compatible with the operational requirements of the Kemtai programme. 4. Able to give informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: • Significant comorbid physical or mental illness considered by the investigator to either: prevent engagement in modified exercise; impair the participants ability to follow instructions place the participant at undue risk during exercise training adversely affect the recovery or rehabilitation trajectory * Patients already involved in an exercise or rehabilitation study will be excluded from this study. * Unwilling or unable to consent or complete study measures. * Has insufficient understanding of English or the languages that are supported by the Kemtai programme and does not have someone who can translate. * Is a prisoner * Has had a total hip replacement within the previous 6 months. * Is attending for revision of a previous knee replacement * Is having a knee replacement due to a tumour * Lacks visual acuity sufficient to follow stimuli on monitor or has someone who can give necessary verbal prompts * Severe genu varum or genu valgum deformity which precludes the ability to exercise using the Kemtai programme.
