Summary

This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before hip or knee replacement surgery can improve recovery, function, and quality of life. 44 adults with advanced osteoarthritis will do 3 weekly physiotherapy sessions plus daily home exercises for several weeks before their operation. Researchers will measure changes in physical function and psychological well-being to see if prehabilitation helps patients bounce back faster.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
supervised physiotherapy and home exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a simple exercise program before surgery helps people recover faster and feel better after hip or knee replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires commitment and may not benefit all patients.
