Maneuverability is currently under appreciated by patients who are seeking mobility. This pilot study is examining how patients maneuverability and mobility will change with this novel mobility tool.
Individuals living with challenges that affect their mobility may lead to loss of independence, loss of activity and engagement with life. We are seeking individuals who are having a Total Knee Replacement and are seeking increased mobility using the Alinker, which is a non-motorized walking bike without pedals.
Each participant will receive the Alinker prior to surgery, and will be encouraged to use it as much as possible before surgery and during the 3-month post-operative period.

| Mobility after surgery | Mobility will be assessed by using a bicycle odometer to track usage and mobility. The odometer will be checked 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months after surgery during a post-op clinical exam. | 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Determining intensity of pain | We plan to use VAS pain scale as measurement scale ( range; 0-10, higher scores correspond to greater pain | 6 months |
| Change in knee society score | To assess the effectiveness of the device by calculating Initial knee society score (KSS) and Knee society score at 2 weeks, 3 months and 2 years after surgery. The scale ranges from 0-100 with grading as Score 80-100 - Excellent Score 70-79 - Good Score 60-69 - Fair Score below 60 - Poor |

Each participant will receive the Alinker prior to surgery, and will be encouraged to use it as much as possible before surgery and during the 3-month post-operative period.
A maximum of 19 patients will be enrolled and will receive an Alinker prior to surgery at their pre-op clinical visit. The Alinker will be assembled with a bicycle odometer to track usage and mobility. The odometer will be checked 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months after surgery during a post-op clinical exam. The participant will answer questionnaires pre-operatively and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months.
