Randomized controlled trial shows improved functional recovery and reduced pain in knee arthroplasty patients, indicating the benefits of pre-habilitation.
Key Points
Pre-habilitation led to a significant increase in functional mobility at three months.
The rehabilitation group recorded an average time of 12.6 seconds in the TUG test, indicating quicker recovery.
Patients in the rehabilitation group reported lower pain levels compared to the control group at both six weeks and three months.
Patients receiving pre-habilitation had a shorter average hospital stay of 3.7 days versus 4.3 days for controls.
