Choose to Move Replacement Ready for people waiting for hip or knee replacement
Choose to Move Replacement Ready: A Feasibility Trial of a Virtual Health-promoting Intervention for People Awaiting Total Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery
This project will test whether the Choose to Move Replacement Ready program helps older adults on hip or knee replacement waitlists increase physical activity, improve mobility, and support psychosocial health.

What this trial studies
Choose to Move Replacement Ready (CTM-RR) is a 3-month, choice-based program adapted to support older adults with hip or knee osteoarthritis who are on surgical waitlists for total knee or hip replacement. Trained activity coaches from the Active Aging Society deliver the program while participants, coaches, and referral partners complete online surveys about activity, mobility, pain, function, quality of life, social isolation, self-efficacy, and program experience. The study is an observational implementation evaluation that will track implementation outcomes (recruitment, retention, dose, fidelity) and describe determinants such as acceptability, reach, and adaptations against pre-set feasibility targets. Investigators will also produce preliminary estimates of whether CTM-RR changes physical activity, mobility, pain, function, and psychosocial measures to inform potential wider scale-up.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: English-speaking adults aged 50 and older with hip or knee osteoarthritis who are on a total hip or knee replacement surgical waitlist and who are low active are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who cannot speak English, are already highly active, have medical contraindications to increasing activity, or require urgent surgery are unlikely to benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, CTM-RR could help people waiting for hip or knee replacement stay more active, reduce pain, and improve function and quality of life before surgery.
How similar studies have performed: The original Choose to Move program has demonstrated effectiveness for increasing activity among older adults, but the Replacement Ready adaptation for patients on joint-replacement waitlists is novel and has not been widely tested.
