First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a pre-surgery program (including exercise, nutrition advice, and medication review) helps frail adults aged 70+ recover better after hip or knee replacement. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to the program or standard care. The goal is to see if the program is feasible and may improve physical function and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Multimodal prehabilitation program (exercise, nutrition counseling, medication review)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a tailored pre-surgery program improves recovery and quality of life for frail older adults undergoing joint replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires significant time and effort, and some patients may not benefit.
