Choose to Move Replacement Ready: A Feasibility Trial of a Virtual Health-promoting Intervention for People Awaiting Total Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. Recently, the investigators adapted CTM for the \>14000 people in BC who are on surgical waitlists for total knee replacement or total hip replacement (TKR/THR) for osteoarthritis (OA). The primary goal of this observational study is to learn if the adapted program, Choose to Move Replacement Ready (CTM-RR), is feasible to deliver to people with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis who are on surgical waitlists for TKR/THR. Participants who enrol in CTM-RR will answer online survey questions about the program and about their physical activity, mobility, pain, function, quality of life, willingness to undergo surgery, overall perception of their joint condition, psychosocial health, self-efficacy, social isolation, loneliness, and sedentary time. CTM-RR activity coaches will also answer online survey questions about the program. CTM-RR participants, activity coaches, and referral partners will also participate in interviews about the program.

Experimental: Choose to Move Replacement Ready
CTM-RR is a 3-month program for individuals with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis on surgical waitlists for total hip or total knee replacement that includes three required components: 1) a 30-min one-on-one virtual consultation (via Zoom) where activity coaches support participants to set goals and develop a PA action plan; 2) 8 virtual group meetings (via Zoom, 90-min each) facilitated by activity coaches, with small groups of participants (10/program) who provide peer support. Each meeting includes: i) two, 15-min movement breaks where participants perform structured hip and knee exercises delivered by the coach and ii) education and discussion on relevant topics (e.g. goal setting, PA, what to expect from surgery); 3) Home-based hip and knee exercises to complete independently, 2x/week. Optional components of CTM-RR include 4) a bi-weekly newsletter distributed by the AAS and 5) peer support check-ins outside of group meetings.
