The study was designed to assess the efficacy of a home-based rehabilitation program using a digital kinematic biofeedback system after total hip or knee replacement. This is a single-arm prospective study. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and will perform an 8-week rehabilitation program starting between day 7 and 10 after surgery. This program will consist of rehabilitation sessions performed independently by the patient at under remote monitoring from a physical therapist. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 4 weeks into the rehabilitation program and at the end of the program. The primary outcome is the change in patient performance measure through the Timed-up-and-Go (TUG) test in comparison with the pre-operative score. Secondary outcomes will be measured in terms of: a) patient reported outcomes (Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and b) range of motion of the relevant joint (hip or knee).
