Session Information

Title: ARHP Orthopedics, Low Back Pain and Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation Sciences

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ARHP)

Background/Purpose:  It is important that patient expectations are met after total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty in order to maximize outcomes and satisfaction.  Although patients state that return to leisure activities is a priority, few studies have focused on their expectations for return to these activities.  We conducted a scoping review to determine: 1) the types of studies that have been conducted on leisure activity expectations after THA/TKA, 2) how expectations have been measured, 3) if expectations are met, and 4) if expectations can be modified. 

Methods: Scoping reviews are used to determine the extent, range, and nature of the scientific literature when experimental studies are lacking.  This review was conducted using the 6-stage framework of Arksey and O’Malley (identify research question, identify relevant studies, select studies, chart data, report results, and consultation).  The review included cohort and experimental studies of patients, aged 18 years or more, who received primary THA/TKA due to arthritis, and included a pre-operative assessment of leisure activity expectations and data on if they were met or modified.  Electronic database searches (e.g., MEDLINE, CINAHL) were conducted by a medical librarian.  The studies were independently screened for eligibility by 2 researchers during 3 rounds of review (title, abstract, and full-text).  A descriptive analytical method was used to summarize the data according to published methods.  Cohen’s kappa coefficient with 95% CI was used to determine inter-rater agreement.

Results: Of the 242 articles identified, 169 titles, 60 abstracts, and 15 full-text articles were screened for eligibility.  The rater agreement for each round was 0.47 (CI 0.32, 0.63), 0.61 (CI 0.35, 0.86), and 1.0 (CI 1, 1), respectively.  The review included 5 studies. Four studies used a cohort design to determine if expectations were met after surgery (follow-up between 1 and 5 years).  Only 1 randomized controlled trial attempted to modify expectations prior to surgery using an educational class with hip- or knee-specific information.  Expectations were measured by questionnaire (self- or phone-administered) and presented as an overall score (summation of Likert scale responses) or in MET-hours per week. Only 1 study measured the expected dose (frequency, intensity, time, type) of activity.  Expectations exceeded post-operative ability at 5 years in 1 study, and were not met in another.  Two studies estimated that expectations were met in 10% to 43% of patients.  The randomized controlled trial reported that expectations could be modified.

Conclusion: This scoping review demonstrated that few studies focused on patient expectations for leisure activity after THA/TKA, and even fewer attempted to modify expectations.  Expectations were not consistently met, but they are capable of being modified. Future studies should assess the expected dose of activity that patients expect to achieve to ensure that they will be active enough to maintain health.  More studies are needed to test educational interventions in patients undergoing joint replacement.  Educating patients about appropriate activity expectations could improve the health and activity levels of this population.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
