Patients' Perceptions of Preoperative Home-Based Occupational Therapy and/Or Physiotherapy Interventions Prior to Total Hip Replacement (Research) (Report‪)‬

Introduction Over 69,000 hip replacement procedures were performed in England and Wales and recorded on the National Joint Registry in 2008. The vast majority (75%) were undertaken within the National Health Service (NHS) (National Joint Registry 2008). Resources devoted to hip replacements in the NHS are considerable, not only for surgical procedures but also for supportive interventions. In some NHS trusts, occupational therapists and physiotherapists provide preoperative interventions.
