Summary: | To quantify the effectiveness of prehabilitation prior to total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA) for osteoarthritis on postoperative outcomes assessed by self-report and performance-based measures.
Embase, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL and Scopus (inception-August 2022) were searched for randomized controlled trials. Self-report outcomes were function, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and pain. Performance-based outcomes were strength, range of motion (ROM), balance, and functional mobility. The RoB 2.0 assessed risk of bias. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed up to 52 weeks after TKA/THA.
High risk of bias was found in 24 of 28 trials. Prehabilitation improved function (SMD = 0.50 [95%CI: 0.23, 0.77]), pain (SMD = 0.44 [95%CI: 0.17, 0.71]), HRQoL (SMD = 0.28 [95%CI: 0.12, 0.43]), strength (SMD = 0.72 [95%CI: 0.47, 0.98]), ROM (SMD = 0.31 [95%CI: 0.02, 0.59]), and functional mobility (SMD = 0.39 [95%CI: 0.05, 0.73]) post-TKA. No significant effect of prehabilitation on balance (SMD = 0.28 [95%CI: -0.11, 0.66]) post-TKA. All outcomes assessed had significant heterogeneity (
< 0.01). There were limited and contradictory trials (
= 2) for THA.
High risk of bias and significant heterogeneity observed in our meta-analysis prevent conclusions regarding prehabilitation effectiveness on outcomes up to one year after TKA/THA. |
