The effect of mobile application-based rehabilitation in patients with total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Arch Gerontol Geriatr . 2023 Oct:113:105058.A total of three randomized controlled trials comparing mobile application-based rehabilitation against a control after total knee arthroplasty were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis.
