Aim: What is the effect on<br />
length <strong>of</strong> stay <strong>of</strong> individually<br />
tailored pre- operative<br />
rehabilitation for clients with<br />
more complex needs<br />
undergoing <strong>hip</strong> or knee<br />
<strong>replacement</strong><br />
133 subjects with complex<br />
needs receiving elective <strong>hip</strong> or<br />
knee <strong>replacement</strong><br />
Rehabilitation group n=65<br />
Mean age 66.9 years<br />
Male: female ratio = 14:51<br />
Usual care group = 68<br />
Mean age 70.7 years<br />
Male: female ratio = 13:55<br />

<strong>Total</strong> <strong>hip</strong> or knee<br />
<strong>replacement</strong> – random<br />
allocation to:<br />
Usual care group:<br />
standard pre- operative<br />
clinic visit 1–2 weeks<br />
prior to surgery<br />
Rehabilitation group:<br />
individualised and<br />
multidisciplinary<br />
Counselling/education<br />
<strong>Occupational</strong> therapy:<br />
environmental<br />
preparation, education,<br />
strategies to improve<br />
pre- operative<br />
functioning, energy<br />
consideration and task<br />
simplification. Some<br />
received a home visit.<br />
Pre- operative baseline<br />
measures:<br />
• Oxford Hip Score<br />
• Spielberger State<br />
Anxiety Inventory (state<br />
component).<br />
Post- operatively:<br />
• Number <strong>of</strong> days to<br />
meeting discharge<br />
criteria<br />
• Actual length <strong>of</strong> stay<br />
• Discharge destination<br />
• Post- operative<br />
complications.<br />
Rehabilitation intervention group<br />
less anxious before surgery and<br />
better prepared in advance for<br />
return home<br />
• Average number <strong>of</strong> days to<br />
achieve discharge criteria was<br />
significantly shorter among preoperative<br />
rehabilitation group<br />
(p=0.021)<br />
• Length <strong>of</strong> stay was significantly<br />
shorter on average among service<br />
users receiving rehabilitation<br />
(p=0.032)<br />
• Average number <strong>of</strong> days to meet<br />
each individual discharge criteria<br />
lower, but most not statistically<br />
significant<br />
• Significant difference seen in the<br />
mean number <strong>of</strong> days required to<br />
have made plans for discharge<br />
(equipment, arranged provision <strong>of</strong><br />
meals), with most in the<br />
rehabilitation group having made<br />
arrangements prior to admission<br />
