About

The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of STABL rehabilitation vs in-person rehabilitation following meniscectomy or synovectomy. STABL is a digital health platform that uses computer-vision technology to facilitate at-home post-op recovery for patients while enabling remote monitoring by their surgeon.

Full description

Patients undergoing minor knee procedures (defined as meniscectomy and synovectomy) will be randomized to virtual rehabilitation using the STABL platform or standard physical therapy over the course of 6 weeks to determine any possible difference in clinical outcomes.

Enrollment: 60 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Underwent meniscectomy or synovectomy surgery
