Sponsor's own description

Osteoarthritis (OA), leading to hip replacement, is a leading contributor to global mobility impairment. Given the boom in the older demographic it is not surprising that there is an 11% increased demand for replacement every 5 years in Canada. Health promotion interventions, such as prehabilitation, defined as pre-surgical education, are vital to optimizing surgical outcomes, reducing hospitalization costs, accelerating rehabilitation, and reducing patient discomfort and pre-operative anxiety. HIPPER is a 2-year randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will assess feasibility indicators and clinical outcomes of online prehab education modules compared to online educational webinars. The feasibility indicators (process, resource, management, and treatment issues) and clinical outcomes (physical function, anxiety, depression, pain, daily activities, self-efficacy, and health related quality of life) will be assessed among Vancouver-dwelling older adults aged \> 50 years, with advanced hip osteoarthritis. The findings will lead to the refinement of the design protocol in order to evaluate a contemporary, standardized, and geographically accessible prehab education program in a large multi-site RCT.
