KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS
More than one hundred MD have been classified (WHO, 2019). The scientific proposal will be transferable to the high number conditions that require physiotherapy treatment, with a consequent socio-economic impact. However, in order to carry out a clinical validation with a homogeneous sample, we target patients with severe knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee replacement. This is justified, on the one hand, by the age of the population, which is proposed to be older adults. This will avoid unnecessary travel and will encourage compliance with recommendations such as social distancing. In addition, it satisfies the clinical need to perform physiotherapy after a highly invasive surgical procedure, which should preferably be done at home to optimize resources and reduce social and health risks.
