In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgery used to treat advanced knee osteoarthritis, especially when other treatments no longer help. While the surgery often reduces pain and improves joint alignment, many patients still have problems with balance and movement afterward. This study will explore whether adding balance training using the Tecnobody ProKin system to standard physical therapy helps patients recover better after TKA. The researchers will measure balance, walking ability, leg strength, and body awareness (also called proprioception) using special equipment. The main goal is to test the hypothesis that technology-supported balance training improves recovery outcomes more effectively than standard rehabilitation alone.
