Have you had a knee replacement and tracked your physical activity?
Description
NHS REC: 24/NE/0090
About the research
In the United Kingdom, approximately 100,000 knee replacement surgeries are performed each year to relieve pain and improve mobility. While we know a lot about reducing pain, we know less about how physical activity changes after knee replacement. We invite you to take part in a University of Manchester-led study to explore how people recover after knee replacement surgery.
You can take part if:
- You have had a partial/total knee replacement anywhere in the UK (not including Scotland).
- You had knee replacement surgery between 1st of January 2017 and 31st December 2023.
- 18 or older when you had the knee replacement.
- You monitored your physical activity at least six months before and one year after your knee replacement surgery using any of the following devices:
- Apple watch
- iPhone
- Oura Ring
- Fitbit
Why join our research?
Your participation will help us learn how people recover after knee replacement, so that in the future people and doctors can make better informed decisions about knee replacement surgery.
