Does Supplementing of Quadriceps Strength With Exoskeleton After Total Knee Arthroplasty in High Risk Population Reduce Transfer to Extended Care Facility (ECF)

Does Supplementing of Quadriceps Strength With Exoskeleton After Total Knee Arthroplasty in High Risk Population Reduce Transfer to Extended Care Facility (ECF)

This study involves an exoskeleton which is believed to increase quadriceps muscle strength in the rehabilitation phase after TKA and reduce the discharge the such patients in Extended care facility (ECF) . The purpose of this study is to access efficacy of the robotic exoskeleton device wrapped around the operated knee on patients
