Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective of this study is to determine which wearable motion sensors are suitable to measure change in physical function of TKR patients after surgery. Following this objective, we will explore if the changes in physical function, as measured with wearable sensors, is related to the PROMs. Physical function is specified as a selection of functional parameters (e.g. walking speed, step length, symmetry). All of these functional parameters can be determined using wearable motion sensors, with methods we have developed in our previous study on healthy subjects. However, each motion sensor-based calculation has a certain accuracy. Therefore, we will determine the change of each functional parameter using reference devices/software (pressure insoles, Xsens kinematics software, ECG patches). If the change of the functional parameter in TKR patients is bigger than the accuracy of the motion sensor-based calculation, the motion sensor is suitable to measure change of physical function. General function PROM is defined as score on the KOOS-PS, with a difference bigger than 2.2 within a subject as minimal clinical improvement threshold. Specific function PROM is defined as score on the PKIP, with sub scores on: stability, confidence, satisfaction and modification of activities. Both the sensor-based features and the PROMs are measured at multiple points in time (5x). To account for individual progress over time on both measures, the difference between baseline (pre-operative) and each follow-up measurement will be calculated. The relation between each functional parameter and the score on the PROMs will be explored. For an extensive description of the analysis and the endpoints, see protocol section 10.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
* Relation between pre-operative expectation (of multiple ADL) of the subject and the surgeon, and the PROMs. * Relation between patient specific parameters (biometrics, lifestyle, comorbidities, mental fitness), and the PROMs. * Correlation between subject reported acute pain/confidence (from VAS) and sensor based features (physiological and movement) during ADL. * Correlation between the activity level at home of the wrist worn device (fitbit) and the smartphone based (Sentiance application). For an extensive description of the analysis and the endpoints, see protocol section 10.
