Recovery reimagined.
The six weeks following Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery are crucial to a patient’s recovery. During this time, unable to drive to their physiotherapist appointments, they must begin the process of rehabilitation at home.
As a practicing Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr Matthew Liptak felt having the patient manage their rehabilitation themselves could increase the risk of sub-optimal outcomes. And despite the operation becoming increasingly common, there was a lack of formal guidelines worldwide in terms of patient recovery.
So in 2012, Dr Liptak set about developing a solution – MAXM Skate which is TGA approved.
This simple yet highly sophisticated device includes a skate and rope which a patient uses for early assisted active motion and resistance training in the comfort of their home.
And when linked to the TGA-approved MAXM Watch and MAXM App, it collects and records data which allows the patient and their health team to monitor the patient’s progress and adjust their program accordingly.
