Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, musculoskeletal disorders represent a global threat, and primary replacement arthroplasty is the preferred surgical treatment for late-stage arthritis. In South Africa, the waiting lists for arthroplasty are extensive and physiotherapists can have an impact on this situation by implementing prehabilitation; hence, the need to conduct research on the efficacy of such a programme.
OBJECTIVES: Develop a prehabilitation programme for a resource-scarce community in South Africa.
METHOD: Our study consisted of three phases wherein the first step entailed conducting a scoping review. The second phase was a consultation of stakeholders through semi-structured interviews and self-administered questionnaire, and the final stage was an evaluation of the effects of the prehabilitation programme by a pilot, single-blinded study on a convenient sample of patients.
RESULTS: The scoping review identified several gaps in existing programmes such as duration, mode and content of the prehabilitation programmes. Stakeholder surveys revealed a lack of knowledge and understanding of physiotherapy and prehabilitation. This highlighted the need to investigate the efficacy of a hybrid model of prehabilitation.
CONCLUSION: Our study is novel within the South African public healthcare system, as it envisages a hybrid approach; and to construct a programme that is contextually relevant.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Our study aims to deliver the services in a hybrid way using telerehabilitation and face-to-face therapy which will improve access and reduce waiting times.
