A Remote Physical Therapy Program Demonstrates Similar Outcomes Compared to In-Person, Supervised Physical Therapy after Same-Day Discharge Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Clinical Trial

A growing number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients are candidates for same-day discharge (SDD). Previous research has shown that internet-based remote physical therapy (RPT) can produce equivalent outcomes to supervised outpatient physical therapy (OPT) after TKA. We sought to compare outcomes between RPT and OPT in patients undergoing SDD TKA using an electronic remote perioperative management (ERPM) program.
