About EquipCore
Built for Recovery Patients,
by a Recovery Team
Purpose-built tools that help knee replacement patients measure progress, stay motivated, and recover with confidence — even between PT visits.

Why EquipCore Exists
Every year, over one million Americans get a total knee replacement. The surgery itself takes about an hour. The recovery takes a year.
Insurance covers 12 to 20 physical therapy visits— if you're lucky. After that, you're on your own. No one to tell you if your knee is bending enough. No one to confirm that the pain you're feeling is normal. No easy way to know if you're on track.
We built EquipCore to fill that gap.
The Problem We Noticed
No Way to Measure at Home
The standard tool — a goniometer — requires another person. Patients have no objective way to track ROM progress between PT visits.
Recovery Feels Isolating
“Am I behind?” “Is this pain normal?” “Should I be further along?” Without feedback, patients spiral into anxiety and the comparison trap.
Generic Equipment Falls Short
Heel slides on bed sheets. Extension stretches with a rolled-up towel. The standard advice doesn’t come with the right tools.
Our Approach
EquipCore is two things that work together: a free recovery tracking app and physical products designed specifically for TKA rehab.
The app gives patients a way to measure knee angle at home using just their phone camera — no goniometer, no extra person. It tracks range of motion over time, logs exercises, and provides the kind of feedback that keeps people moving forward instead of wondering if they're falling behind.
The products — a purpose-built heel slide board, a foam roll with heel cup, and a recovery kit — replace the makeshift solutions that patients cobble together from generic equipment. They're designed to do one job well: make the exercises your PT prescribed easier to do correctly.
Everything we build is designed for the 55-to-75 demographicthat makes up most knee replacement patients. That means large text, simple navigation, and no features that require a tutorial. If it isn't immediately obvious how to use it, we haven't finished designing it.
