A study comparing the benefits of pre-habilitation exercise to standard care prior to total knee arthroplasy
Recovery post Total Knee Replacement Surgery ((TKA) has been a subject of interest. In a study of 379 patients who had hip or knee replacement surgery, it was reported that at 6 months post-surgery patients with better baseline function had superior functional ability and less pain than patients with lower function at baseline. Another study of 276 patients undergoing TKA reported that pre-operative joint function was a predictor of joint function and overall function at 6 months post-surgery. These findings suggest that prehabilitation to increase functional ability prior to TKA may have a positive effect in recovering post-surgery. In a randomized control trial of patients receiving TKA, the group receiving an Exercise Program (prehabilitation) made significant improvements in performance from baseline to before surgery, and at 1 and 3 months post surgery. For the group that did not receive the Exercise Program pre-surgery, significant improvement did not occur until 3 months post surgery. The overall objective of the proposed single-blinded randomized controlled trial is to demonstrate that a well designed prehabilitation program for patients receiving TKA surgery will significantly improve outcomes related to pain and function and may reduce utilization of health care services post surgery.
In this randomized control trial we hypothesize that the group of participants who receive a prehabilitation Exercise Program will recover quicker than patients who do not receive the Exercise Program based on several measures of performance including pain, quadriceps strength, range of motion and quality of life.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard treatment | No Intervention | The no intervention group will receive standard treatment that includes a four hour class pre-surgery consisting of a description of the surgery, what to expect in the hospital and during recovery and some exercises to be done in preparation for surgery. | |
| Prehabilitation | Experimental | Prehabilitation:The experimental group will receive a three week prehabilitation program prior to surgery in addition to standard treatment. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prehabilitation | Other | The three week, 3 days / week prehabilitation exercise program will consist of resistance training, step training and stretching(flexibility) as well as cardiovascular endurance training. Intensity of training will increase over the three weeks. Classes will be delivered over a four week period with a gap during the third week allowing additional time for participants to practice their exercises. The home exercise program will be designed to account for the additional week. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) | WOMAC, a self-assessment tool, is a valid and reliable instrument developed specifically to measure outcomes related to interventions for treatment of the hip and knee. Consisting of three domains: physical, pain and stiffness; a total score is derived by aggregating the domain scores. | Change from baseline to pre-surgery, 4, 14 and 26 weeks post surgery |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Six Minute Walk | A valid and reliable measure of total distance walked in six minutes. | Change from baseline to pre-surgery, 4, 14, 26 weeks post-surgery |
| Gait Speed | Gait speed will be measured with the 10 meter walk. It will be assessed under two conditions: 1) instructed to walk at normal speed, 2) instructed to walk as fast as possible. |

| Knee Range of Motion (ROM) | Knee ROM (extension and flexion) will be measured with a goniometer at the surgical joint. | Change from baseline to pre-surgery, 4, 14, and 26 weeks post surgery |
| Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) | The SF-36 measures 8 dimensions of outcome: physical functioning, social functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, mental health, role-emotional, vitality and general health. | Change from baseline to pre-surgery, 4, 14 and 26 weeks post surgery |
| Sit-to-stand repetitions in 30 seconds | Number of complete stand up to sit down cycles is counted. | Change from baseline to pre-surgery, 4, 14 and 26 weeks post surgery |
| Pain | Pain will be measured upon completion of each of the functional tasks (gait speed, six-minute walk and sit to stand) using a Visual Analog Scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is severe pain. | Change from baseline to pre-surgery, 4, 14 and 26 weeks post surgery |
