The Effectiveness of Preoperative Outpatient and Home Rehabilitation and the Impact on the Results of Hip Arthroplasty: Introductory Report.
Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland) 2024 January 27
A total hip replacement is the treatment of choice for end-stage hip osteoarthritis. Rehabilitation performed before surgery (called prehabilitation) is used to improve the results of surgical treatment. However, the results of studies have not unquestionably confirmed the effectiveness of preoperative rehabilitation and its impact on the outcome of surgery. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of preoperative outpatient and home rehabilitation in relation to a control group not subject to these forms of influence. A total of 61 patients qualified for primary hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned to a group with outpatient rehabilitation before surgery, exercises performed at home, or a group without any intervention before surgery. Three weeks after surgery, the patients were re-qualified and underwent three weeks of outpatient rehabilitation in the day rehabilitation department. The patients from all three groups were evaluated in terms of functionality and pain using point scales upon enrolment in the study, on admission to the day rehabilitation department, and after 3 weeks of rehabilitation in the department. A total of 50 subjects completed the study. The study results did not reveal statistically significant differences between preoperative rehabilitation and no intervention. Patients rehabilitated at home gave up self-therapy more often than those undergoing outpatient rehabilitation.
