Abstract

Aim and methodology: For evaluation of outpatient rehabilitation after total hip and knee replacement, a multicenter study was performed to assess quality of life, general health as well as subjective and objective impairment at the beginning (T1), at the end (T2) and 3 months (T3) after rehabilitation: SF 36, EQ-5D, and WOMAC. The Knee Society and Harris Hip Score scores were documented at T1 and T2.

Results: A total of 721 patients were included (359 hips, 362 knees). The average age was 65 years, and 49 % of the patients were women. Both the results of the clinical scores and health statuses showed highly significantly positive changes in the rehabilitation course as well as sustainability in the further observation time period. An effect loss with declining results after rehabilitation was not observed.

Conclusion: The study illustrates positive effects of outpatient rehabilitation following endoprosthetic treatment.
