Use of a Wearable Muscle Oxygen Saturation Sensor in the Rehabilitation of High-School and Collegiate Athletes Recovering From Arthroscopic Hip and Knee Surgery
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center
Summary
This study will utilize the Moxy wearable sensor to measure muscle oxygen saturation levels in athletes following lower extremity surgery (ACL or Hip arthroscopy) to evaluate their Return-to-Play. The acquired data will complement current protocols utilized by Dr. Voos and Dr. Salata in this regard and will add quantifiable evidence to enable a robust measurement of the surgical limb versus non-surgical limb.
Description
Patients with a diagnosis of ACL tear or hip pathology will undergo surgery. Following surgery, patients will report to clinic for scheduled physical therapy per their institution's injury-specific physical therapy protocol. At set time points (6-week, 12-week, 6 months, and 9 months) during their recovery, patients will be assessed for muscle oxygen saturation and hemoglobin levels with the Moxy sensor. This sensor is a non-invasive device placed over the rectus femoris to monitor oxygen and hemoglobin levels. The patient will then follow the therapy as instructed by the physical therapist an…
