  3. WHAT IS PREHABILITATION? “Prehabilitationis the process of optimizing physical functionality preoperatively to enable the individual to maintain a normal level of function during and after surgery”

  4. KEY AIMS OF PREHABILITATIONPain management Improvement of biomechanics Strengthening of key muscle groupsStretching of tight musclesEducation and mental preparationGuidance re:weightreduction/maintenance of CV fitness

  5. ROLE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY: PREHABILITATION

  6. CASE STUDY65 yr old female3 yr Hx of knee painXR: severe medial knee OAWalking distance ↓ to 10 minsPSFS score: 4/20Surgeon has recommended TKR but due to treatment for unrelated condition postponed for 6 months

  7. OBJECTIVEKnee valgus General joint swellingLoss of last 10 degrees extensionPoor footwearTight gastrocPoor inner range quads strength

  8. TREATMENTEducation!Referral for bracing optionsAdvice on weight managementHome Exercise ProgrammeFootwear adviceManual therapy calf, ankle, hams

  9. OUTCOME (5sessions)Walking tolerance ↑ to 45 minsKnee extension 0 degreesPSFS score ↑ 12/20 Pt reports ↑ confidence and feels ‘mentally ready’ for surgery when it happens

  10. RESEARCH EVIDENCE Good level of evidence that…..1. Prehab improves function even in the most severely compromised patients with OA 2. Prehab ↓ post op pain levels and ↑ function in pts undergoing TKR/THR3. Pre-op education useful in managing pts expectations post TKR/THR

  11. TAKE HOME MESSAGESPhysio referral for pts who are listed for/are considering TKR/THRAdvice re: weight management, maintaining mobilityLook out for more complex cases

  12. PART 2: HYDROTHERAPY
