What this trial studies

BoneFit aims to assess the feasibility of a student-led prehabilitation service for individuals awaiting total hip or knee replacement surgery in the Hull region. This pilot study will provide a tailored prehabilitation care package designed to enhance physical and mental health, improve quality of life, and reduce hospital stay duration, complications, and readmission rates post-surgery. The program will involve both an experimental intervention and a placebo comparator to evaluate its effectiveness.
