Effects of Pre-habilitation on Self-Efficacy for Exercise and Outcome Expectations for Exercise Among Patients Before and After Total Knee Arthroplasty

The purpose of this research is to compare pre and post-surgical exercise self-efficacy and outcome expectations for exercise among TKA patients who do and do not receive prehabilitation (exercise intervention before surgery). 31 participants (22 female, 9 male) scheduled for a TKA from a single ort...

Description
Summary:The purpose of this research is to compare pre and post-surgical exercise self-efficacy and outcome expectations for exercise among TKA patients who do and do not receive prehabilitation (exercise intervention before surgery). 31 participants (22 female, 9 male) scheduled for a TKA from a single orthopedic practice were randomly assigned to a Control (CON) or a prehabilitation (PRE) group following baseline testing. Outcome variables at baseline testing included the Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE) scale and the Outcome Expectations for Exercise (OEE) scale. Repeated measures ANOVA were conducted examining the effect of group (PRE vs. CON) over the four data collection points (Baseline, T2, T3 & T4). Significant main or interaction effects were explored further by calculating Fischer's least significant difference post hoc comparisons. The SEE, of the PRE appeared to be consistently maintained over the study, and actually trended upward after their TKA at T3 and T4, but did not significantly increase.
