This trial tests a program to improve your health before hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to help you recover better and reduce risks.
This trial tests a prehabilitation program (exercises before surgery) to see if it helps older people recover better after total hip replacement. The program may strengthen your muscles and improve your overall health before the operation.
This study tests if a program to reduce anxiety before surgery (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) improves how patients feel one year after major orthopedic surgery like knee, hip, or spine procedures, compared to standard care.
This study tests if exercise therapy and patient education before total knee replacement can improve recovery. It may help people waiting for their first knee replacement due to osteoarthritis.
This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.
