Characterization of the Relative Change in Objective and Subjective Metrics by Baselining Patients Who have Wearable Technology Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty

Wearable sensors and associated supporting technologies (i.e., patient applications) can provide both objective (joint position, step counts, etc.) and subjective data (i.e., pain scores and patient-reported outcome measures) to track a patient ’s episode of care. Establishing a subjective and objective baseline of a patient’s experience may arguably be beneficial for multiple reasons, including setting recovery expectations for the patient and demonstrating the effectiveness or success of the intervention.
