- Abstract
The first weeks after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are crucial for the functional outcome. To improve knee mobility, a continuous passive motion (CPM) motor rail is commonly used during in-hospital rehabilitation. The single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) is a new therapy device. The aim of the study was to improve patients' range of motion (ROM), mobility, and satisfaction using the active-assistive support of the HAL-SJ.
