Therapists are concerned that a new 'quiet knee' protocol delaying outpatient PT until 4 weeks post-op will lead to poor patient adherence to home exercise programs and development of abnormal gait mechanics.

Existing home exercise video platforms are not effective for elderly patients who lack technical skills, leading to non-compliance and potential complications.
