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 />
