Telerehabilitation TAR program using a mobile application (intervention group)
Standard rehabilitation (control group)
Participants in the intervention group will undergo the telerehabilitation TAR program and install and utilise the application on their mobile device, and self-administer the home exercises as prescribed by their physiotherapists. The mobile application uses novel deep learning algorithm on a mobile platform to detect key landmarks on the body for human pose estimation. Participants will be able to perform their rehabilitation exercise with real-time feedback allowing for proper execution of the exercises. The participants will be instructed on the installation and use of the mobile application and will be expected to perform the prescribed exercises independently (using the application) as instructed by their Physiotherapists. This application will be used for the initial 12 weeks of post-op rehabilitation.
Participants in the control group will attend standard in person rehabilitation sessions at the outpatient clinic. Participants will be prescribed a home exercise program as per standard care.
