Official title: Choose to Move Replacement Ready: Implementation and Effectiveness of a Virtual Health-Promoting Intervention for People Awaiting Total Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery
Run by University of British Columbia · NCT07696650 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This program tests a tailored, online version of a 3-month activity and social-connection plan for older adults with hip or knee osteoarthritis who are waiting for joint replacement surgery to see if it improves physical activity and health while they wait.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
English-speaking adults aged 50 and older in British Columbia who are on a waitlist for hip or knee replacement and can participate in an online CTM-RR program.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals who cannot participate in online programs or who are non-English speaking are less likely to benefit from CTM-RR.

What this trial studies
This project adapts the Choose to Move program to support adults with hip or knee osteoarthritis who are on surgical waitlists for total hip or knee replacement in British Columbia. Trained activity coaches deliver CTM-RR online to eligible participants, with partners from hospitals and orthopaedic clinics helping with referrals. The study will describe how CTM-RR is implemented, including who it reaches and how faithfully it is delivered, and will test whether participating people increase their moderate-to-vigorous physical activity pre-surgery and maintain any benefits through the waiting period. Outcomes include physical activity, social health, and feasibility of sustaining benefits after program completion. The overall aim is to inform scalability and impact of the adapted program in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience greater physical activity, better social connection, and improved health while they wait for surgery, potentially easing pre-operative preparation.
How similar studies have gone: Prior CTM implementations in BC have shown benefits for low active older adults, but the replacement-ready adaptation for surgical waitlists is a novel extension with limited prior evidence.
