The Effect of the Web-Based Gamified Application on Functional Results and Recovery Conditions
Turkey (Türkiye)54 participantsStarted 2024-11-12
Plain-language summary
The aim of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of a mobile-compatible web-based gamified application (Game-App-KNEE) developed for post-operative care of total knee replacement (TKA) surgery on functional outcomes and recovery status.
Based on this, the hypotheses of our project are; In the intervention group where the mobile-compatible web-based gamified application to be developed for the home care of individuals undergoing TKA due to osteoarthritis is applied, compared to the control group; Hypothesis 1 (H1): After the application of Game-App-KNEE, the functional levels of individuals in the intervention group are higher than the control group.
Hypothesis 2 (H1): After the application of Game-App-KNEE, the post-operative recovery levels of individuals in the intervention group are higher than the control group.
Participants:
Receive the game module application (intervention group) or only the educational booklet (control group) every day for 3 months after discharge Visit the clinic every 1st and 3rd month for check-ups and tests.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial used a web-based gamified app to support recovery after surgery — is there any chance I could still access or benefit from a similar digital tool as part of my own recovery plan?
2Since this trial has already been completed, have the results been published or shared anywhere, and would you be able to walk me through what they found about functional outcomes and recovery?
3The study focused on postoperative recovery and functional results — based on the findings, do you think a gamified or interactive digital program could realistically help someone in my specific situation after surgery?
4This was listed as Phase NA, meaning it wasn't testing a drug but rather a technology-based approach — does that change how confident you are in the safety and usefulness of the results compared to a standard clinical drug trial?
5Are there other digital health tools or structured recovery programs you already recommend that do something similar to what this trial was testing, in case the app itself isn't available to me?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
