Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: In-person prehabilitation group

The participants in this group will receive a 12-week rehabilitation program (2x/week) including, education, stretching, strengthening, proprioceptive exercises of the lower limb and cardiovascular training using low-impact activities, in addition to walking aid adjustment. General information about pain control, such as ice application and medication usage will also be provided

experimental: Tele-prehabilitation group

The participants in this group will receive a 12-week rehabilitation program (2x/week) including, education, stretching, strengthening, proprioceptive exercises of the lower limb and cardiovascular training using low-impact activities, in addition to walking aid adjustment using a telecommunication software (Reacts®, Facetime® or Skype®). General information about pain control, such as ice application and medication usage will also be provided.

active comparator: Usual care group

The participants in this group will be provided with the hospital's usual documentation before total joint arthroplasties, consisting of information regarding the pre- and post-surgery course and medication.
