4 Steps to a More Connected Knee Surgery Recovery With MAXM Skate

Knee surgery is only the beginning of the recovery journey.

Whether a patient is preparing for a total knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, or another knee procedure, rehabilitation plays an important role in getting back to everyday activities.

One of the biggest challenges during recovery is knowing whether you're actually making progress.

How much has your range of motion improved?

Are you completing your exercises consistently?

Is your recovery moving in the right direction?

MAXM Skate is designed to bring more visibility, structure, and feedback into the knee rehabilitation process.

Here are four steps patients can take to get started.

1. Get MAXM Skate Before Surgery

Recovery planning can begin before the surgery itself.

MAXM recommends receiving the MAXM Skate before surgery so patients can become familiar with the device, exercises, and companion app ahead of time. This can help make the transition into post-operative rehabilitation more familiar.

The MAXM Skate system combines the physical rehabilitation device with a sensor and mobile app to create a connected approach to knee recovery.

The idea is simple: prepare before surgery so you're ready to focus on rehabilitation afterward.

2. Download the MAXM Skate App

The MAXM Skate App is an important part of the system.

The app provides guided exercises and allows patients to see their knee range of motion in real time while completing exercises. It also tracks progress and can help turn rehabilitation into something patients can actively monitor.

Instead of simply completing an exercise and moving on, patients can have measurable feedback during the process.

That can make progress easier to understand.

3. Make Rehabilitation Part of Your Routine

Consistency matters during rehabilitation.

MAXM Skate is designed to support exercises that can be performed in a home setting, allowing patients to work on their recovery as part of their daily routine. The system's portability is also intended to make rehabilitation easier to incorporate into everyday life.

The goal isn't to rush the recovery process.

It's to follow the rehabilitation plan provided by your healthcare team and consistently work toward the goals they've established for you.

MAXM's own guidance emphasizes that range-of-motion goals should be individualized with a surgeon or healthcare professional.

4. Share Your Progress With Your Care Team

One of the biggest differences between traditional home rehabilitation and connected rehabilitation is visibility.

MAXM Skate uses a Bluetooth sensor to capture movement data and provide real-time feedback through the app. The platform is also designed to allow patients to share progress with their clinical team.

That creates an opportunity for patients and providers to have a clearer picture of how rehabilitation is progressing.

Instead of relying entirely on how recovery feels, measurable data can become another part of the conversation between the patient and care team.

Recovery You Can Actually See

Knee rehabilitation can sometimes feel like a long series of small steps.

One day you're working on movement.The next, you're trying to improve your range of motion.Then you're trying to get back to normal daily activities.

MAXM Skate is designed to make some of that progress more visible.

The system combines the MAXM Skate, sensor, and companion app to provide guided rehabilitation, real-time range-of-motion feedback, progress tracking, and opportunities to share information with the healthcare team.

And there is clinical research behind the concept. A randomized controlled trial evaluated the MAXM Skate rehabilitation program following total knee arthroplasty, examining outcomes including knee range of motion, pain, strength, and cost-effectiveness.

MAXM's published materials report improved early range of motion compared with standard care in its clinical research, but individual results can vary and rehabilitation goals should always be determined with the patient's healthcare team.

A Smarter Way to Look at Knee Recovery

Successful rehabilitation isn't about simply checking a box that says "physical therapy."

It's about understanding where you are, knowing where you're trying to go, and having the tools to help you and your care team monitor the journey.

MAXM Skate brings the physical rehabilitation device, digital technology, real-time feedback, and progress tracking together in one connected recovery system.

For patients preparing for knee surgery, that can mean having a clearer view of the rehabilitation journey from the beginning.

MAXM Skate should be used according to the instructions of the patient's healthcare professional. Rehabilitation goals and exercise intensity should be individualized based on the procedure, patient, and clinical plan.
