prehab

BACKGROUND: Inadequate study reporting precludes interpretation of findings, pooling of results in meta-analyses, and delays knowledge translation. While prehabilitation interventions aim to enhance candidacy for surgery, to our knowledge, a review of the quality of reporting in prehabilitation has yet to be conducted. Our objective was to determine the extent to which randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of prehabilitation are reported according to methodological and intervention reporting checklists...

BACKGROUND: The preoperative period can be used to enhance a patient's functional capacity with multimodal prehabilitation and consequently improve and fasten postoperative recovery. Especially, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgical patients may benefit from this intervention, since the affected and resected organ is an essential part of the cardiorespiratory fitness. Drafting a prehabilitation programme is challenging, since many disciplines are involved, and time between diagnosis of NSCLC and surgery is limited...

Sleep difficulties are a common symptom in cancer patients at different stages of treatment trajectory and may lead to numerous negative consequences for which management is required. This pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) aims to assess the potential effectiveness of home-based prehabilitation intervention (prehab) on sleep quality and parameters compared to standard care (SOC) in colorectal cancer patients during the preoperative period and up to 8 weeks after the surgery. One hundred two participants (48...

BACKGROUND: Purposeful rehabilitation before surgery (prehabilitation) has been researched and implemented in the treatment of anterior cruciate ligament tears. However, it is unclear whether prehabilitation would affect outcomes for baseball pitchers with partial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tears. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS: The purpose of this study was to determine whether baseball pitchers with partial UCL tears who completed ≥4 weeks of prehabilitation (prehab group) have different return to play (RTP) outcomes than pitchers with 0 to 3 weeks of preoperative physical therapy (no prehab group)...

INTRODUCTION: Engaging with patients when designing a clinical or research project is beneficial; feedback from the intended audience provides invaluable insight form the patients' perspective. Working with patients can result in developing successful research grants and interventions. The benefit of including the voice of the patient in the Yorkshire Cancer Research funded PREHABS study is described in this article. METHODS: Patients were included in the PREHABS study from inception to completion...

UNLABELLED: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and prehabilitation programs are multidisciplinary care pathways to reduce stress response and improve perioperative outcomes, which also include nutritional interventions. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of protein supplementation with 20 mg per day before surgery in a prehabilitation program in postoperative serum albumin, prealbumin, and total proteins in endometrial cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A prospective study including patients who underwent laparoscopy for endometrial cancer was conducted...

IMPORTANCE: Colorectal surgery is associated with substantial morbidity rates and a lowered functional capacity. Optimization of the patient's condition in the weeks prior to surgery may attenuate these unfavorable sequelae. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether multimodal prehabilitation before colorectal cancer surgery can reduce postoperative complications and enhance functional recovery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The PREHAB randomized clinical trial was an international, multicenter trial conducted in teaching hospitals with implemented enhanced recovery after surgery programs...

OBJECTIVES: To codesign and assess the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of a hospital-initiated, community delivered approach to health optimization (prehab) prior to planned surgery. DESIGN: Participatory codesign combined with a prospective, observational cohort study (April-July 2022). SETTING: A large metropolitan tertiary referral service with 2 participating hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: All people referred for orthopaedic assessment for joint replacement surgery (hip or knee) triaged as category 2 or 3...

Today, we who treat athletes are able to effect immediate, significant improvement in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) patient outcomes, regardless of surgical technique, by careful determination of when an athlete is ready to return to sport. "Prehabiliation," bracing, time after surgery to various rehabilitation activities, time after surgery until return to sport, functional testing, strength testing including limb symmetry indices, psychological readiness, age, gender, and type of sport are all factors influencing successful return to sport after ACL injury and treatment...

BACKGROUND: The unique anatomy of the human hand makes it possible to carefully manipulate tools, powerfully grasp objects, and even throw items with precision. These apparent contradictory functions of the hand, high mobility for manual dexterity vs high stability during forceful grasping, imply that daily activities impose a high strain on a relatively instable joint. This makes the hand susceptible to joint disorders such as osteoarthritis. Both systemic (eg, genetics, hormones) and mechanical factors (eg, joint loading) are important in the development of osteoarthritis, but the precise pathomechanism remains largely unknown...

BACKGROUND: Prehabilitation employs exercise, nutrition, and psychological interventions to optimize physiological status in preparation for surgery. First, we described the extent to which material deprivation index score (MDIS) influenced prehabilitation participation. Second, we evaluated the extent to which prehabilitation influenced recovery as compared to control. METHODS: Pooled patient records from prospective multimodal prehabilitation studies in oncologic surgery were retrospectively examined...

Growing attention has been placed on cancer prehabilitation in the recent years as the number of publications increase. The real-world application of prehabilitation remains heterogeneous and its implementation has been challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic has also provided impetus for change-leveraging technology and digitalization. This paper will discuss the pre-existing models of care, adaptations that had taken place in the pandemic, the model of care in the author's institution, and the future direction of cancer prehabilitation...

BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need to identify and treat potentially modifiable factors that may improve quality of life and influence survival of people with pancreatic cancer. The aim of this study was to assess nutritional status at diagnosis and in the early and later stages of post-operative recovery and to evaluate the feasibility of optimising nutritional status and symptoms in patients undergoing surgery, as part of a multidisciplinary prehabilitation intervention. METHODOLOGY: Nutritional data collection and intervention took place at four time points: (1) baseline at diagnosis; (2) prior to surgery; (3) first post-operative review (within 6 weeks) and; (4) at six to twelve months post-operatively...

BACKGROUND: Frailty is a state of vulnerability as a result of decreased reserves. Prehabilitation may increase reserve and improve postoperative outcomes. Our objective was to determine if home-based prehabilitation improves postoperative functional recovery in older adults with frailty having cancer surgery. METHODS: This double blind randomised trial enrolled people ≥60 yr having elective cancer surgery and ≥3 weeks from enrolment to surgery as eligible...

CONTEXT: Injury prevention programs are effective when implemented in team sports, but many recreational runners have less access to such focused interventions or peer support and often seek other sources to learn about injury reduction strategies. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore runners' motivations in attending a prehabilitation (prehab) for runners workshop, establish their comprehension of prehab, and identify barriers to ongoing engagement with injury prevention...

INTRODUCTION: Preoperative optimization programs have demonstrated positive effects on perioperative physical function and surgical outcomes. In nonsurgical populations, physical activity and healthy diet may reduce pain and pain medication requirement, but this has not been studied in surgical patients. Our aim was to determine whether a preoperative diet and exercise intervention affects postoperative pain and pain medication use. METHODS: Patients undergoing abdominal colorectal surgery were invited to participate in a web-based patient engagement program...
