Prehabilitation before total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review on the use and efficacy of stratified care

Barriers to Inter-Organi_{sational Collaboration} in the Preoperative Management of Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Hip or Knee

“…The survey results show that collaboration among professionals from different health organisations is very rare. Comparison with the results of other studies that have implemented integrated clinical pathways in preoperative management of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis shows that inter-organisational collaboration is well organised and effective in many countries [ 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ], it can improve health related quality of life [ 14 ], however, the study in the Netherlands shows that implementation of the pathway had a positive effect on GPs’ diagnostic behaviour only in relation to the knee but not the hip [ 16 ]. The statements about inter-organisational collaboration and communication were rated higher by nurses than by physicians and others, they much more often relied on documentation and consulted other competent people, probably due to the fact that nurses are generally most involved in coordination of patient’s treatment.…”

“…Data were collected by an online survey to determine the performance of collaboration between different healthcare providers in the preoperative management of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. All medical and other professionals involved in the preoperative management of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis [ 17 18 19 20 ] were invited to participate in the study, namely physicians, nurses, other health professionals (physiotherapists, dieticians occupational therapists and psychologists), and administrative staff in various Slovenian healthcare facilities, including public general hospitals (orthopaedic departments), private orthopaedic clinics, specialised public orthopaedic or rehabilitation centres and community health centres. Then a list of potential participants was created.…”

“…However, it has been noted that the efficient use of preoperative diagnostics and conservative treatment needs further improvement [ 15 16 ]. Preoperative management of patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis should focus on preparation for arthroplasty in terms of improving the prognosis of surgical treatment, focusing on different aspects of the patient’s psychophysical state [ 17 ]. Studies show that the success of surgical treatment is better in patients who are well prepared for surgery.…”

The impact of Yoga on patients with knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

“…Older adults often have multiple underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, which may increase the surgical risks [ 13 ]. Additionally, the physical function of older individuals tends to decline, leading to slower postoperative recovery that requires longer periods of rehabilitation and care [ 14 ]. Therefore, non-pharmacological therapies such as exercise, physical therapy, and massage are more readily accepted by patients in clinical practice.…”

Clinical prediction model for interdisciplinary biopsychosocial rehabilitation in osteoarthritis patients

“…However, because of the heterogeneity in OA it is postulated that individuals will benefit more from individualized treatment. 11 , 12 Individualized interdisciplinary multimodal pain treatments (IMPT) have resulted in positive improvement of several patient-reported and clinician measured outcomes regarding pain, disability and psychological factors in patients experiencing different chronic primary musculoskeletal pain disorders, 13 but also for self-reported pain, health and clinically observed disability in OA patients specifically. 6 This sort of treatment usually targets different components of the biopsychosocial model that contribute to the maintenance of chronic pain and/ or disability, requires active participation of the patients, and is given by a team of different health professionals ( e.g .…”
