Brief Summary

Choose to Move (CTM) is a 3-month, choice-based health-promoting program for low active older adults being scaled-up across British Columbia (BC), Canada. Recently, the investigators adapted CTM for the \>14000 people in BC who are on surgical waitlists for total knee replacement or total hip replacement (TKR/THR) for osteoarthritis (OA). The primary goals of this observational study are to describe how the adapted program, Choose to Move Replacement Ready (CTM-RR), is implemented in BC and determine if the adapted program improves health outcomes in people with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis who are on surgical waitlists for TKR/THR. The investigators will also evaluate whether any health benefits achieved by CTM-RR participants are maintained three months after they finish the program and also during the remaining time that they wait for their TKR/THR surgery. The investigators will work with referral partners from hospitals and orthopaedic clinics in BC to recruit participants into CTM-RR. Participants who enrol in CTM-RR will answer online survey questions about the program and about their physical activity, mobility, pain, function, quality of life, willingness to undergo surgery, overall perception of their joint condition, psychosocial health, self-efficacy, social isolation, loneliness, and sedentary time. CTM-RR activity coaches will also answer online survey questions about the program. CTM-RR participants, activity coaches, and referral partners will also participate in interviews about the program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Implementation outcome: Fidelity (Proportion of participants who adhered to CTM-RR program components)

    Obtained from post-program survey. Measures adherence to prescribed frequency, intensity, duration, and type of exercises performed, and attendance at CTM-RR group meetings.

    3 months

  • Effectiveness outcome: Change in physical activity

    Single-item physical activity questionnaire. Output measure is self-reported number of days engaging in ≥30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in the past week (range 0-7). Higher scores reflect a better outcome (i.e. increased physical activity)

Choose to Move Replacement Ready

EXPERIMENTAL

Choose to Move Replacement Ready CTM-RR is a 3-month program for individuals with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis on surgical waitlists for total hip or total knee replacement that includes three required components: 1) a 30-min one-on-one virtual consultation (via Zoom) where activity coaches support participants to set goals and develop a physical activity (PA) action plan; 2) 8 virtual group meetings (via Zoom, 90-min each) facilitated by activity coaches, with participants (10/program) who provide peer support. Each meeting includes: i) two, 15-min movement breaks where participants perform structured hip and knee exercises delivered by the coach and ii) education and discussion on relevant topics (e.g. goal setting, PA, what to expect from surgery); 3) Home-based hip and knee exercises to complete independently, 2x/week. Optional components of CTM-RR include 4) a bi-weekly newsletter distributed by the Active Aging Society and 5) peer support check-ins outside of group meetings.
