About this study

Official title: Establishing Appropriate Activity Expectations After Total Joint Replacement

To pilot test an activity-focused intervention that educates patients undergoing total hip (THA) or total knee (TKA) arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis about the appropriate type, frequency, intensity, and duration of expected leisure activities after surgery and to determine if the intervention changed expectations.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive patients, aged 45 years and older, who are scheduled for primary total hip or knee arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis will be randomized to an intervention or control (no intervention) group. All patients will be interviewed by telephone prior to the intervention, by an interviewer blinded to group status, to collect data on current leisure activity and expected activity at 6 months after surgery. Patients will also complete a questionnaire to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Comorbidity Index), pain intensity (0-10 scale), health-related quality of life (SF-12), hip-/knee-specific outcomes (Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score/Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score), general expectations (Hospital for Special Surgery Total Hip/Knee Replacement Expectations Surveys), and stage of readiness for change.

All patients will receive usual medical care before surgery and visit the clinic to meet with the surgeon and nurse/physician assistant, and undergo pre-operative laboratory testing. Patients in the intervention group will also meet with a member of the research team to complete a 10-item pre-test, to assess knowledge of the key concepts in the intervention, and then be presented with a 20-minute slide presentation. The presentation will educate patients on the: 1) definition of physical activity and its associated health benefits for the general population and people with arthritis, (2) 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 3) appropriate types of aerobic activities that patients should engage in after THA/TKA (e.g., no- or low-impact activities), (4) appropriate intensity level for activities after THA/TKA (e.g., at least moderate intensity), (5) appropriate duration of participation in activities (e.g., in increments of 10 or more minutes), and (6) the appropriate amount of activity per week (e.g., ≥ 2.5 hours [150 minutes]).

Patients will then complete a satisfaction survey that will provide feedback on the content, format, and length of the intervention, and a post-test to measure mastery of the intervention material. The post-test will contain the same questions as the pre-test, but in a different order. The control group will not meet with the research team during their pre-operative visit. The control group will receive a written version of the intervention at the end of the study.

All patients will be re-interviewed by telephone one week after their visit to reassess leisure activity expectations. Data analyses will be conducted to determine: 1) the direction and magnitude of change expected in leisure activity between baseline and 6 months, 2) the change in the proportion of patients who expect to meet national physical activity guidelines 6 month after surgery, and 3) whether or not the intervention modified the type, frequency, duration, or intensity of expected leisure activity from pre- to post-administration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in type, frequency, intensity, and duration of expected leisure activities from pre- to post-intervention.

    The Historical Leisure Activity Questionnaire will be used to measure expected physical activity before and after the intervention

    Measured: One-week prior to the educational intervention (Pre) (approximately 3-4 weeks before surgery) and one-week after the educational intervention (Post) (approximately 1-2 weeks before surgery).

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in the proportion of patients who expect to meet nationally recommended physical activity levels 6 months after surgery.

    The Historical Leisure Activity Questionnaire will be used to determine if patients expect to meet the nationally recommended physical activity levels 6 months after surgery (i.e., 2.5 hours or more of at least moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week in bouts of 10 or more minutes).

    Measured: One-week prior to the educational intervention (Pre) (approximately 3-4 weeks before surgery) and one-week after the educational intervention (Post) (approximately 1-2 weeks before surgery).

  2. Direction and magnitude of change expected in leisure activity between baseline (i.e., current activity) and 6 months

    Expected activity at 6 months - baseline activity = expected change in activity

    Measured: Baseline (approximately 3-4 weeks before surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational intervention in people with Hip Osteoarthritis and Knee Osteoarthritis, run by West Virginia University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in type, frequency, intensity, and duration of expected leisure activities from pre- to post-intervention. (time frame: One-week prior to the educational intervention (Pre) (approximately 3-4 weeks before surgery) and one-week after the educational intervention (Post) (approximately 1-2 weeks before surgery).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jul 2019.
