Efficacy of STABL Virtual Rehabilitation

Efficacy of STABL Virtual Rehabilitation: A Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of STABL rehabilitation vs in-person rehabilitation following meniscectomy or synovectomy. STABL is a digital health platform that uses computer-vision technology to facilitate at-home post-op recovery for patients while enabling remote monitoring by their surgeon.

Patients undergoing minor knee procedures (defined as meniscectomy and synovectomy) will be randomized to virtual rehabilitation using the STABL platform or standard physical therapy over the course of 6 weeks to determine any possible difference in clinical outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Underwent meniscectomy or synovectomy surgery
• Age 18-65
• Ability to comply with a standardized postoperative protocol
• Willing and able to provide consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous knee surgery
• Patients at any increased risk of falls or at increased risk from harm due to falling, including issues with vertigo, osteoporosis, or a history of past falls
• Patient otherwise deemed at increased risk from this investigational rehabilitation program by their referring surgeon or physical therapist
• Patients who are pregnant
