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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals waiting for unilateral total hip or knee replacement surgery for at least six months and able to provide informed consent.
Not a fit: Patients who have had previous hip or knee surgery or have medical conditions that contraindicate moderate to vigorous exercise may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve recovery outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Similar studies have shown promise in prehabilitation approaches, suggesting potential benefits for surgical outcomes, although this specific program is novel in its student-led format.
