Changes in physical activity after total hip or knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis of 6 and 12 month outcomes
ConclusionsPhysical activity did not change at 6‐months and a small‐moderate improvement was found at 12‐months post‐surgery, despite large improvements in quality of life, pain, and physical function. Reasons for the lack of increased PA are unknown but may be behavioral in nature as sedentary lifestyle is difficult to change. Changing sedentary behavior should be a future focus among this subgroup.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)
