Physical activity after total joint arthroplasty: a narrative review

Abstract: BackgroundTotal joint arthroplasty (TJA) is a common procedure to treat individuals with hip and knee osteoarthritis. While TJAs are successful in decreasing pain and improving quality of life, it is unclear whether individuals who undergo TJA become more physically active after surgery. It is possible that TJA, by itself, is not sufficient to affect the behavior of patients toward physical activity (PA) participation. To increase PA participation, individuals with TJA may need to be exposed to exercise/behavi… Show more

“…Although pain is often identified as a cause for increasing difficulties with mobility and daily living, pain and disability were only moderately correlated. Previous research has shown that pain relief following joint replacement surgery for arthritis is not necessarily associated with increased physical activity (Almeida, Khoja, & Piva, 2018). People with disability due to pain might come to accept their lower level of activity, or may be fearful that activity might bring back the pain that they have previously experienced, and therefore do not necessarily increase activity after pain improves.…”

“…The mean age of the patients was 42 to 67 years, with between 12 and 77 patients. There was no increase in the level of activity after 3 or 12 months [35]. Possible criticisms of this conclusion are that the follow-up was sometimes as low as 3 months, and that some of the studies contained very few patients.…”
