Beyond Subjective Recovery Monitoring

_{The ability to track patient recovery following joint replacement surgery is essential for assisting surgeons and physical therapists in making clinical decisions to optimize patients' health. But how do we define "normal" progress in the weeks following a procedure? This research utilizes smartphone-based motion analysis to identify the specific recovery trajectories and benchmarks that define successful outcomes for Total Hip Replacement (THR) and Total Knee Replacement (TKR).}

The "Initial Burst" Phenomenon

‍_{By mathematically modeling the underlying patterns of recovery, this study identified a consistent initial burst of recovery that occurs in the first few weeks post-surgery. However, the data shows that this rapid progress eventually levels out by the fifteenth week, marking a critical transition in the rehabilitation timeline. Understanding these phases is key to identifying when a patient is on track — and when they are falling behind.}

Mapping Individual Progress Against Aggregated Data

_{This research establishes objective recovery benchmarks by comparing individual progress against aggregated recovery data. By uncovering the distinct differences between THR and TKR recovery curves, OneStep provides clinicians with the data-driven insights needed to ensure every patient stays on their optimal recovery path.}
