SUMMARY

Knee replacement surgeries are one of the most frequently performed elective surgeries, with approximately 29,000 such procedures carried out annually in Belgium. Although these surgeries have been increasingly refined over the years, leading to better surgical outcomes, there is still room for improvement in terms of pre-surgical biopsychosocial patient preparation. Such preparation aims to optimally inform patients before their surgery and to start preparing them for rehabilitation and resumption of activities after surgery. Therefore, we aim to assess the added value and feasibility of prehabilitation within the knee replacement care pathway. The primary objective is to investigate the feasibility, acceptability and safety of multimodal biopsychosocial teleprehabilitation (BPS-teleprehab) for people undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The secondary objective is to explore the effect of BPS-teleprehab versus best-evidence preoperative advice for people undergoing TKA on activity outcomes, functioning, pain, symptoms of central sensitization, quality of life, cognitive-emotional factors, joint awareness, satisfaction with the surgery, healthcare and medication use and productivity loss. The tertiary objective is to explore baseline associations between the collected outcome measures, demographics and medical data in people scheduled for TKA. Furthermore, this pilot trial will inform potential protocol modifications in prepara- tion of an eventual fully powered randomized controlled trial to investigate the ef- fectiveness of BPS-teleprehab in people undergoing TKA.
