Effects of a Machine Learning-based Lower Limb Exercise Training System for Knee Pain

Sponsor: The University of Hong Kong

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of the study is to confirm the idea of AI-powered Technological Surrogate Physiotherapist (TSP), by demonstrating its effectiveness and value as a new technology-based contribution to OA healthcare. Participants will be randomized to one of three groups: (1) the conventional PT group receiving the exercise program delivered through in-person sessions; (2) the AI-guided group following the program through the TSP after an initial PT session; or (3) the combined group receiving both in-person PT sessions and AI-guided home exercise. All individuals will take part in the study for 12 weeks, and data will be collected at baseline and 12 weeks after randomization.

Official title: Development and Randomized Controlled Trial of an AI-powered Technological Surrogate Physiotherapist (TSP) Dedicated to Quality Enhancement and Cost Reduction in Knee Osteoarthritis Exercise Rehabilitation

Interventions

DEVICE

The AI-powered Technological Surrogate Physiotherapist

The AI-powered Technological Surrogate Physiotherapist will have three key features: 1. Evidence-based exercise videos instructed by physical therapists 2. Real-time movement feedback and performance score 3. Exercise records.

BEHAVIORAL

Face-to-face physiotherapist-supervised exercise program

Physiotherapists will give usual face-to-face therapy. The assessment of participants' exercise movements will only be achieved in the traditional manner during face-to-face exercise sessions - by physiotherapists' visual inspection of and professional judgement on postural alignment and effectiveness, with verbal instructions for posture correction. The features of real-time movement feedback and tracking of exercise progress will not be provided.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

The AI-powered Technological Surrogate Physiotherapist Plus Face-to-face physiotherapist-supervised exercise program

This group will attend in-person group therapy sessions, while additionally completing weekly home exercise sessions using the TSP system.
