Efficacy of a computer vision-based system for exercise management in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a study protocol for a randomised controlled pilot trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a computer vision system in guiding exercise management for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) by comparing functional improvement between a tele-rehabilitation versus an outpatient intervention program.

Methods and analysis

This is a prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled trial of 60 patients with knee OA who will be randomly assigned to exercise therapy (n=30) or control (n=30) . Both groups will receive treatment two times per week for 12 weeks. The primary outcome of the study will be assessed using the University of Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score will be assessed, as well as the visual analogue scale, quality of l
