Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Intervention: Knee KG informed physical therapy

Participants in this group will receive care guided by the impairments identified with the KneeKG. The KneeKG exam results in recommended exercises that target the specific biomechanical impairments identified. The exercises and dose given to the participant will be based on what the KneeKG device recommends after the exam. The participant will be seen twice a week for 4 weeks.

no intervention: Control: Standard of care physical therapy

Participants in this arm will have their KneeKG data captured, but this information will not be provided to the physical therapist to inform their care. Instead, physical therapists will deliver care as they normally do in routine clinical practice. The participant will be seen twice a week for 4 weeks.

Interventions

Emovi Knee Kinesiography

All participants will receive a KneeKG exam. This device will capture three-dimensional knee kinematics for a participant's knee, using the KneeKG system. Therapists will use these reports and suggested exercises to guide their care for participants in the Intervention group.

Primary outcome measure

  • Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
