Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Health professions need to prepare for the large increase in the number of older people with OA requiring health services including TJA surgery. Older age and poor physical function influences the postoperative prognosis of TJA. At discharge from hospital after TJA, studies have shown that gait speed can be severely impaired among older patients.

The investigators hypothesize that an exercise program of 6-12 weeks will be beneficial for patients that are undergoing TJA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

More than 300.000 Norwegians above 20 years of age have osteoarthritis (OA) . There has been a significant increase in the prevalence of OA over the decades. In the United States knee OA affects 19% of adults aged 45 years or older. OA is associated with an extensive high economic and personal burden, largely attributable to the effects of disability, comorbid disease, and the expense of treatment.

Given the aging population, the number of total joint arthroplasty procedures (TJA) for hip and knee is likely to increase substantially. In light of poor physical function prior to surgery among older patients and the likelihood of an added decrease during hospitalization and risk of poorer outcome after surgery, it is hypothesised that prehabilitation (preoperative exercise) would improve outcomes after surgery, however evidence for its efficacy is still lacking
