Brief Summary

The investigators have learned that knee replacement patients are not more physically active after surgery. This is true even though their pain is less compared to before surgery. This low level of physical activity is not healthy. It can increase the chances of weight gain, which can create other issues. It can also lessen physical function. Some studies have looked at physical activity feedback systems to increase how active people are. Studies have investigated face to face patient group meetings for this,too. These systems and meetings can increase physical activity. The investigators will study the effects of a physical activity monitors with group meetings after knee replacement. The investigators hypothesize that physical activity levels and physical function will increase. The investigators goal is to help knee replacement patients lead healthier lives and maintain or enhance their physical function.

Conditions

Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Physical activity

  Daily step and activity counts

  Change from baseline to immediately post-12 week intervention

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Change in Functional performance

  Change from baseline to immediately post-12 week intervention

• Change in Self-reported physical function

  Change from baseline to immediately post-12 week intervention

Study Arms (2)

Physical Activity Feedback

EXPERIMENTAL

The physical activity feedback intervention will involve real-time physical activity monitoring using a device to provide activity feedback directly to patients in combination with patient group meetings held monthly during the 12 week intervention for the purposes of mutual support in attaining physical activity goals.

Other: Physical activity feedback with group meetings

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control represents the current standard of care post total knee arthroplasty.
