Randomized Controlled TrialPreoperative therapeutic exercise in frail elderly scheduled for total hip replacement: a randomized pilot trial.
To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of therapeutic exercise before total hip replacement in frail elderly. ⋯ A short, tailor-made, exercise programme is well tolerated and appreciated in elderly patients awaiting total hip replacement. However, a larger randomized clinical trial in the same setting is not warranted, because of the high number of eligible non-volunteers.
