Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Physical Therapy
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Current physical therapy protocols for hip or knee replacement acute care lack standardization.
  • Osteoarthritis is a leading cause for hip or knee replacement surgery, necessitating effective post-operative rehabilitation.

Framework:

  • A three-round consensus process was employed to develop a standardized physical therapy treatment program.
  • Key treatment categories identified include exercise, transfers, ambulation, and discharge criteria.

Implementation:

  • Eighteen national clinicians participated in the consensus development.
  • The program underwent iterative review and refinement based on expert recommendations, including additional exercise regimes.

Implications:
