Document Summary

Prehab: rehabilitation before the surgery to strengthen muscles for after the surgery. Less confidence, lack of practice, expectations o o o o. Prehab increases functioning shorter time below minimum functioning level quicker pre-op level. Prehab patient has a shorter level below the minimum level of functional ability. Train specific systems that will be affected by a stressor (specifically) Train specific systems that will be affected by a stressor (specifically) o o build muscle strength if the stressor will cause strength loss. To build up a functional reserve to compensate for depletion by the stressor. Larger the prehab window, greater the possibility to build up muscle which may have benefit coming out of surgery helping you and the recovery process. Find all individual studies and summarize them to create one study on the topic. Prehab is a way of helping with joint replacement surgery so they can have optimal recovery process.
