The effect of pre-operative cardiorespiratory fitness on functional and subjective outcomes following total hip and knee arthroplasty: a single centre, observational study
Pre-operative peak VO2 was associated with physical and subjective recovery following total hip or knee arthroplasty. Daily step count and estimated peak VO2 via the DASI questionnaire had similar moderate associations with post-operative functional outcomes as directly measured pre-operative peak VO2 and may be acceptable alternatives to predict recovery following hip or knee arthroplasty.
