What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a prehabilitation program designed for patients scheduled to undergo hip or knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis. The program includes strength physical exercise and aerobic training aimed at improving symptoms and overall functional capacity before surgery. Participants will be compared to a control group receiving standard care without prehabilitation. The goal is to enhance recovery outcomes and quality of life for patients facing joint replacement surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis who are scheduled for arthroplasty and can perform basic physical activities.
Not a fit: Patients with cognitive deficits, cancer, or other serious health conditions may not benefit from this prehabilitation program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could lead to improved recovery and better quality of life for patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with prehabilitation approaches in similar patient populations, indicating potential for success.
