Knee Biofeedback Rehabilitation Through Game Therapy

The KneeBRIGHT game system will be evaluated in a 10-week single-blinded randomized controlled trial. The goals of this study are to: (1) assess improvements in functional outcomes following an exercise regimen conducted by KneeBRIGHT compared to conventional exercise; and (2) evaluate patient engagement during unsupervised, home-based exercises with and without the KneeBRIGHT software. Over the course of the study period, the knee OA participants will conduct physical therapy sessions with the physical therapist (PT) who enrolled them. The exercise regimen will implement each PT's standard of care, consisting of two weekly clinic sessions and one weekly home exercise session, for 10 weeks. Knee OA participants will be randomly assigned (via block randomization for each PT) to use either the KneeBRIGHT system for both clinic and home exercise, or to receive standard care with conventional exercise routines. Participants will conduct functional exercise assessments on study intake and again on study completion. Participants will also complete questionnaires focused on exercise engagement on study completion.
