Total knee arthroplasty is treatment of choice for knee degenerative arthritis patients who are unresponsive to non-operative management including medications and physical therapies. Total knee arthroplasty is an effective treatment enhancing the joint range of motion as well as reducing pain and correcting deformities which leads to better patient function with better quality of life. Current method of post-operative rehabilitation is home-based self rehabilitation using brochure, combined with one or two times of education at the hospital before discharge. Patients often find difficulty in doing rehabilitation by themselves at home without supervision which resulted in decreased compliance. With development of technologies using multi-motion sensor and AR(augmented-reality) system, the investigators have developed a digital healthcare system(Uincare Homeplus) which can supplement patients' rehabilitation at home by giving them proper instructions as well as feedback. In this prospective randomized controlled study, the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of the newly-developed digital healthcare system with conventional rehabilitation program.
