Digital home-based physical activity promotion for older adults after total hip arthroplasty: protocol for the randomized controlled iPATH trial

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) effectively alleviates pain and improves physical function. However, an increase in patients’ physical activity (PA) is often not observed after surgery. This paradox may result from short rehabilitation periods and persistent sedentary habits and be further influenced b...

Descrizione
Riassunto:Total hip arthroplasty (THA) effectively alleviates pain and improves physical function. However, an increase in patients’ physical activity (PA) is often not observed after surgery. This paradox may result from short rehabilitation periods and persistent sedentary habits and be further influenced by methodological limitations of previous PA monitoring approaches. Digital home-based exercise programs and personal caching (PC) using behavioral change techniques for PA promotion, together with recent advances in PA monitoring, may offer new opportunities to address these challenges. The aim of the iPATH study is to evaluate the efficacy of two novel post-rehabilitation interventions, consisting of a digital home-based physical exercise program with or without PC, compared with usual care, for increasing PA in older adults following THA using advanced PA monitoring approaches.
