About
The purpose of this study is to explore the development of, and patient outcomes associated with, the use of individually printed knee extender in conjunction with a video-based home pre-habilitation program for patients who have suffered an ACL rupture before surgery.
Full description
The proposed study will assess the efficacy of utilizing desktop 3DP for patient-specific knee extenders paired with a video-based home pre-habilitation program to address the aforementioned barriers. If the novel device and home program is found to be a viable treatment option, this may improve or replace current treatments for knee pre-habilitation, increase accessibility to proper treatment, and reduce cost and time burden on patients, PTs, and providers. The study will offer a greater understanding of potential improvements to clinical workflows and efficiencies through using 3DP. This technology is an under- utilized resource; further research into the applications of 3DP in the field of orthopaedics will provide opportunities to improve patient care and outcomes.
