1.1 Methodik
Bei der Literaturrecherche zu den Reha-Therapiestandards „Hüft- und Knie-TEP“ wurden
sämtliche seit 2007 veröffentlichte Studien miteinbezogen, um nahtlos an die letzte
inhaltliche Evidenzüberprüfung der Reha-Therapiestandards anzuknüpfen. Die Literaturrecherche erfolgte schrittweise: Zunächst wurden relevante und aktuelle Leitlinien gesucht,
daraufhin Metaanalysen und systematische Reviews und schließlich Originalarbeiten. Die
Suche nach relevanten Leitlinien und HTAs erfolgte in den Datenbanken leitlinien.de, AWMF
online, g-i-n.net, NGC, NICE und HTA database (University of York, Centre for Reviews and
Dissemination). Für systematische Reviews und Metaanalysen wurden die Datenbanken
Cochrane Library, Scopus, MEDLINE, PSYNDEX, CINAHL und PsycINFO durchsucht,
ebenso für Originalarbeiten (hierbei mit Ausnahme der Cochrane Library). Suchbegriffe
waren Kombinationen aus der Indikation (hip, joint, knee, arthroplast$, replac$, prosthe$,
endoprosthe$), der Intervention (rehabilitation, activities of daily living, adl, multidisciplinary,
interdisciplinary, multiprofessional, multimodal, patient care team) und den gewünschten
Artikelmerkmalen (systematic review, meta-analysis, randomized controlled trial, rct, cohort
study). Der Methodenbericht zu den RTS Hüft- und Knie-TEP (vgl. „Therapiestandards für
die Rehabilitation nach Hüft- oder Knietotalendoprothese: Methodenbericht“, S. 236 ff)
dokumentierte zudem Suchalgorithmen für ausgewählte Datenbanken, welche ebenfalls
genutzt wurden. Eine Handsuche erfolgte in den einschlägigen Fachzeitschriften mit den
höchsten Impact-Faktoren: Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (Impact Faktor: 3.23), Knee
Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, (Impact Faktor: 2.68), Journal of Orthopaedic &
Sports Physical Therapy (Impact Faktor: 2.95), Clinical Orthopaedics and related research
(Impact Faktor: 2.79) und Journal of Arthroplasty (Impact Faktor: 2.11). Berücksichtigt
wurden ebenfalls Veröffentlichungen in den Tagungsbänden der Reha-Kolloquien der Jahre
2007 bis 2014. In Anlehnung an die vergangene Literaturrecherche wurden alle
Grunderkrankungen für Hüft- und Knie-TEP berücksichtigt (u. a. Arthrose, Nekrose, Rheuma,
Fraktur), alle Formen der Implantatverankerung, auch Teilprothesen (Hemiarthroplastik,
unikondyläre oder unikompartimentelle Prothesen, Patellofemoralprothesen) und bilaterale
Totalendoprothesen. Einbezogen wurden alle Interventionsstudien zu Therapienformen bei
Hüft- und Knie-TEP im Anschluss zur Primärtherapie sowie Studien mit Angaben zur
Mindestdauer der Therapiemodule oder der Mindestanzahl von zu behandelnden Patienten.
Narrative oder qualitative Studien wurden ausgeschlossen, ebenso Studien zu
medikamentösen, allopathischen oder pflegerischen Therapien. Andere Evidenzen als die
wissenschaftliche Evidenz (z.B. Evidenz aus der good clinical practice, Empirie aus der
Versorgungspraxis (praxisnahe Evidenz), konsensbasierte Evidenz, Evidenz aus rechtlichen,
ethischen oder systemimmanenten Vorgaben) wurden hier nicht verfolgt.

1.3. Darstellung der Ergebnisse der Literaturrecherche für die einzelnen
Therapiemodule
Im Folgenden werden die gefundenen wissenschaftlichen Evidenzen der Literaturrecherche
getrennt nach den jeweiligen Therapiemodulen der RTS dargestellt. Gefundene Leitlinien
und Metaanalysen bzw. Reviews werden kurz mit den wichtigsten Ergebnissen vorgestellt.
ETM-übergreifend
Ein Cochrane-Review von Khan und Kollegen ((2008) belegt die Wirksamkeit früher,
multidisziplinärer Rehabilitation nach Hüft- und Knie-TEP. Die Behandlung nach Leitlinien
erweist sich hierbei als effektiver als die Routinebehandlung (Barbieri et al., 2009; Van
Herck et al., 2010). Zudem wurden Originalarbeiten zur Effektivität spezieller
Rehabilitationsprogramme gefunden (Raphael et al., 2011, Van den Akker-Scheek et al.,
2007). Rehabilitation als Gruppenangebot erwies sich als ebenso effektiv wie EinzelRehabilitation (Aprile et al., 2011). Weitere 3 Originalarbeiten zeigen durch Vergleiche die
Vor- und Nachteile spezifischer Pflegeeinrichtungen sowie ambulanter und stationärer
Therapien auf (Mahomed et al., 2008; Mallinson et al., 2011; Tian et al., 2011).
Hüft-TEP
Der Ansatz zu multimodaler Schmerzbehandlung bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten wird durch ein
systematisches Review unterstützt (Sharma et al., 2009). Spencer-Gardner et al., (2014)
zeigen in ihrer Studie die Effektivität eines 5-Phasen-Rehabilitationsprotokolls um den
steigenden Aktivitätslevel nach der Operation zu dokumentieren.
Knie-TEP
Die 9 ETM-übergreifenden Originalarbeiten zur Rehabilitation nach Knie-TEP beschreiben
die Vorteile verschiedener Rehabilitationskonzepte (den Hertog et al., 2012; Kauppila et al.,
2010), traditioneller chinesischer Medizin im Vergleich zu standardisierten stationären
Rehabilitationsprogrammen (Yang et al., 2013), früherer im Vergleich zu späterem
Rehabilitationsbeginn (Bade et al., 2011; Labraca et al., 2011) sowie der virtuellen
Telerehabilitation, welche die Patienten von Zuhause aus nutzen (Piqueras et al., 2013;
Tousignant et al., 2011a,b; Russell et al., 2011). Die Ergebnisse zur Telerehabilitation zeigen
sich vielversprechend und die Autoren gehen davon aus, dass das neuartige
Therapieprogramm mindestens so effektiv ist wie konventionelle Therapiepläne.
ETM 01 Bewegungstherapie
Zum Therapiemodul „Bewegungstherapie“ wurde eine große Fülle wissenschaftlicher Studien gefunden: Eine kanadische Leitlinie des „Ontario Health Technology Advisory
Committee (OHTAC, 2014) empfiehlt in ihrer aktuellen Version den Übergang zu
kommunalen Physiotherapienageboten nach der Akutbehandlung für Hüft- oder Knie-TEP
bzw. selbstorganisiertes Training von zu Hause aus mithilfe telefonischer Kontrolle eines
Physiotherapeuten. 2 systematische Reviews beschreiben die Wirkung von Physiotherapie
übergreifend bei Knie- und Hüft-TEP. Mak et al. (2013) empfehlen frühe Mobilisation, jedoch
nicht die Anwendung der elektrischen Bewegungsschiene (Continuous Passive Motion).
Villlalta et al. (2013) empfehlen Physiotherapie im Wasser (Hydrotherapie) als ebenso wirksam wie „trockene“ Therapien im Hinblick auf Verbesserungen bezüglich Schmerzen,
Ödeme, Stärke und Bewegungsradius. Das Risiko für langsamere Wundheilung steigt durch
die Hydrotherapie nicht. 3 weitere Originalstudien beleuchten die Vorteile von Gruppengegenüber Einzeltherapie (Coulter et al., 2009), sowie intensivierter Bewegungstherapie,
welche ohne die Gefahr unerwünschter Nebenwirkungen signifikante Effekte zeigt. Welche
Intensitäten konkret zu höheren Therapieeffekten führen, bleibt noch offen (Hendrich et al.,
2011, 2012).
Hüft-TEP
Weitere 7 systematische Reviews wurden zur Bewegungstherapie speziell bei Hüft-TEPPatienten gefunden. Müller et al. (2009) fanden 4 Gruppenvergleiche zur Effektivität von
Sport- und Bewegungstherapie (Laufbandtraining, Armergometertraining, Kraftraining) und
bewerten den Evidenzgrad gerätegestützter Trainingstherapie nach Hüft-TEP mit Ib.
Laufbandtraining, unilaterales Widerstandstraining des Quadrizepsmuskels und
Armergometer wurden ebenfalls von Di Monaco et al. (2009) als effektive Interventionen
nach Hüft-TEP bewertet, auch eine Vollbelastung der operierten Hüfte („unrestricted weight
bearing“) wird bereits direkt nach der Operation als effektiv empfohlen und führt zu keinerlei
unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen (Hol et al., 2010). Intensives Aufbautraining mit Gewichten
(Progressive Resistance Training, PRT) induziert effektiv Muskel-Hypertrophie und
Muskelstärke (Okoro et al. 2012). Zur Wirksamkeit der Physiotherapie fanden Minns Lowe et
al. (2009) keine ausreichende Evidenz, Coulter et al. (2013) bestätigten jedoch
Verbesserungen der Stärke des Hüft-Abduktorenmuskels, der Schrittgeschwindigkeit und der
Trittfrequenz durch die Einsetzung von physiotherapeutischen Übungen. Zum zeitlichen
Verlauf der Bewegungstherapie empfehlen Di Monaco et al. (2013) Ergometertraining und
Maximalkrafttraining in der frühen postoperativen Phase, Belastungsübungen in der späten
Phase (> 8 Wochen postoperativ). 16 weitere Originalstudien zu der Wirksamkeit von
Physiotherapie, Ergometer Training, Bewegungstherapie im Wasser, frühe Auslastung der
Muskelkraft und Gehtraining bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten wurden gefunden. Für die
Bewegungstherapie im Wasser wurden gegenläufige Empfehlungen hinsichtlich des idealen
Anfangszeitpunkts gefunden: Während Liebs et al. (2012) von einem frühen Beginn nach der
Hüft-Operation ausdrücklich abraten, empfehlen Rahmann und Kollegen (2009) die
Physiotherapie im Wasser bereits ab dem 4. Tag nach der Operation.
Eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Originalstudien findet sich in der Übersichtstabelle.
Knie-TEP
Zur Bewegungstherapie bei Knie-TEP-Patienten wurden 13 systematische Reviews und
Meta-Analysen gefunden. Hiervon beziehen sich 4 Studien auf die Effektivität von
Physiotherapie. Im Vergleich zu traditionellen Übungsprogrammen zeigen
physiotherapeutische Übungen einen höheren kurzfristigen Effekt (Minns et al., 2007; Minns
Lowe et al., 2007). Dieses Ergebnis wird auch von Müller et al. (2009) bestätigt und die
Wirksamkeit von Physiotherapie nach Knie-TEP mit einem Evidenzgrad von Ia bewertet.
Eine frühzeitige Verlegung zur ambulanten Physiotherapie wird unterstützt (Genêt et al.,
2007). Die Anwendung der elektrischen Bewegungsschiene (Continuous Passive Motion)
führt lediglich zu kurzzeitigen Verbesserungen der Kniebeweglichkeit, allgemein besteht für
die Anwendung keine dauerhafte bzw. nur eingeschränkte Evidenz (Harvey et al., 2010;
Postel et al., 2007; Van Dijk et al., 2007; Viswanathan et al., 2010). Die Übersichtsarbeiten
von Meier et al. (2008) und Schache et al. (2014) verweisen auf die Notwendigkeit von
Muskelaufbautraining zur Stärkung der Quadrizeps-Muskeln und der hinteren
Oberschenkelmuskulatur, welche bei Knie-TEP-Patienten besonders geschwächt sind. Nach
Pozzi et al. (2013) sollte die optimale Bewegungstherapie intensive funktionsstärkende
Übungen im Wasser oder auf dem Trockenen beinhalten, welche sich in ihrer Intensität mit
dem Fortschritt der Patienten steigern. Direkte Vollbelastungen und Aktivität zeigen keine
Verschlechterungen nach Knie-Operationen (Smith et al., 2007). Die Wundheilung bei
Beugung anstelle von Streckung des Knies kann im weiteren Verlauf zu einem größeren
Bewegungsradius des Gelenks führen (Smith et al., 2010). Weitere 23 Originalarbeiten
behandeln die Wirksamkeit von allgemeinen Bewegungsprogrammen, Physiotherapie,
Bewegungstherapie im Wasser, Balance- und Stärkungsübungen, der Bewegungsschiene
und kardiovaskulärer Fitness und stützen die Aussagen der beschriebenen
Übersichtsarbeiten. So konnten zur Effektivität der Bewegungsschiene auch hier keine oder
nur kurzfristige positive Ergebnisse gefunden werden (Alkire et al., 2010; Bruun-Olsen et al.,
2009; Chen et al., 2013; Herbold et al., 2012; Lenssen et al., 2008; Maniar et al., 2012).
Trainingsübungen im Wasser zeigen hingegen positive Auswirkungen, unter anderem auf die
Muskelstärke und die Mobilitätsgrenzen (Harmer et al., 2009; Valtonen et al., 2010, 2011).
Auch Balanceübungen haben positive Auswirkungen auf den Funktionsstatus der unteren
Extremitäten und die Mobilität (Liao et al., 2013; Piva et al., 2010).
Eine detaillierte Beschreibung der Originalstudien findet sich in der Übersichtstabelle.
Fazit: Das Modul Bewegungstherapie ist ausführlich wissenschaftlich belegt (Evidenzlevel
Ia). Empfohlen wird die Anwendung früher Physiotherapie („trocken“ oder im Wasser), sowie
bei Hüft-TEP- und Knie-TEP-Patienten getrennt eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Sport- und
Bewegungstherapien. Während die Anwendung der Bewegungsschiene im vorangehenden
Methodenreport noch wissenschaftlich unbelegt war, wird nun in mehreren Publikationen die
mangelhafte Wirksamkeit der Anwendung belegt.
ETM 02 Alltagstraining
Zum Therapiemodul Alltagstraining wurden drei Originalstudien zu Hüft-TEP sowie eine
Studie zu Knie-TEP gefunden.
Hüft-TEP
Eine randomisiert kontrollierte Studie von Smith und Kollegen (2008) zeigte keine positiven
Effekte der zusätzlichen Durchführung von Bewegungsübungen im Bett (vgl. KTL H113).
Postler und Kollegen (2011) fanden in einer prospektiven Kohortenstudie eine eher geringe
Auftretenswahrscheinlichkeit postoperativer kognitiver Dysfunktionen bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten
im Alter von 65 Jahren oder älter. Kognitives Training anhand von Videospielen mit
Gedächtnisübungen kann die Gedächtnisfunktionen bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten verbessern
(Brem et al., 2010).
Knie-TEP
Jenkins et al. (2008) fanden positive Langzeiteffekte nach Anleitungen und Übungen zum
Knien 6 Wochen nach der Knie-Operation (vgl. KTL E152, E160, H101).
Fazit: Das Modul „Alltagstraining“ entstammt dem Modul „Ergotherapie und Pflege“, welches
zum Zeitpunkt der Ersterstellung der RTS nicht wissenschaftlich belegt war. Im Vergleich
dazu hat sich die Evidenzlage verbessert, es liegt Evidenz aus randomisiert kontrollierten
Studien vor (Evidenzlevel Ib). Konkrete Hinweise auf die Ausgestaltung des Moduls
hinsichtlich Dauer und Umfang der Maßnahmen lassen sich jedoch nicht ableiten. Da die
zugehörigen Therapien bereits in der aktuellen Fassung der Reha-Therapiestandards einen
hohen Stellenwert aufweisen (Mindestanteil 90%) besteht aufgrund der Literaturrecherche
kein Aktualisierungsbedarf.
ETM 03 Physikalische Therapie
Müller et al. (2009) untersuchten in ihrem systematischen Review die Effektivität der
Anwendung von Kältetherapie (Kryotherapie) und Elektrotherapie bei Hüft- und Knie-TEPPatienten. Kältetherapie zeigte nur vereinzelt positive Auswirkungen in den ersten Tagen
nach der Operation, eine Überlegenheit gegenüber anderen postoperativen
Schmerztherapien konnte nicht berichtet werden (Evidenzgrad Ib). Zur Anwendung der
Elektrotherapie wurden Hinweise gefunden, dass diese in sehr hoher Dosis bei Hüft- als
auch Knie-TEP-Patienten zu verbesserter Gehfunktion führen kann (Evidenzgrad Ib), einem
Krafttraining bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten jedoch nicht überlegen ist. Auch müssen mögliche
Nebenwirkungen berücksichtigt werden. Eine prospektive Kohortenstudie zeigt zudem die
allgemeinen positiven Auswirkungen von physikalischer Therapie bei frühestmöglicher
Anwendung (Chen et al., 2012).
Hüft-TEP
2 Studien zu Hydrotherapie bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten zeigen positive Auswirkungen der
Therapie und empfehlen ihre Anwendung (Giaquinto et al., 2007; 2010). Eine randomisiert
kontrollierte Studie von Gremeaux und Kollegen (2008) untersuchte die Kombination von
Physiotherapie und elektrischer Muskelstimulation und fand größere Effekte hinsichtlich
Muskelstärke und Balance im Vergleich zu Physiotherapie alleine.
Knie-TEP
Mak et al. (2013) berichten in ihrer Übersichtsarbeit von geringen kurzzeitigen
Verbesserungen nach Kälteanwendungen bei Knie-TEP-Patienten, die jedoch keine
Routineanwendung rechtfertigen. Eine weitere Literaturübersicht (Markert, 2011) fasst
zusammen, dass Kältetherapie zwar keine statistisch gesehen effektive Anwendung ist, sie
jedoch einige Vorteile für die Patienten mit sich bringt, etwa Verbesserungen in den
Bereichen Bewegungsradius, Schwellungen und Blutverlust. Zudem wurden drei
Originalarbeiten zu Kälteanwendungen bei Knie-TEP-Patienten gefunden: Im Vergleich zu
herkömmlichen Eiskompressionen zeigen kryopneumatische Anwendungen leichte Vorteile
(Su et al., 2012), gasförmige Kälteanwendungen jedoch nicht (Demoulin et al., 2012).
Die Anwendung von Elektrotherapie (neuromuskuläre elektrische Stimulation) im betroffenen
Quadrizeps-Muskel während der ersten 6 Wochen post-operativ führt nach dem Review von
Bade et al. (2012) zu schnellerer Erholung und langfristigen Verbesserungen bezüglich
Stärke und Leistungskapazität. Acht randomisiert kontrollierte Studien zur Effektivität
neuromuskulärer elektrischer Stimulation wurden zudem gefunden. Die Kombination von
Mikrostromtherapie und physiotherapeutischen Übungen führt zu besseren Effekten als die
Durchführung von Physiotherapie alleine oder die Kombination mit Scheinbehandlungen
(Avramidis et al., 2010; Levine et al., 2013; Rockstroh et al., 2010). Vor allem bei höheren
Intensitäten werden Hamstring- und Quadrizeps-Muskel gestärkt (Stevens-Lapsley et al.,
2012a,b). Nichtinvasive interaktive Neurostimulation (NIN) verbesserte bereits nach 3 Tagen
signifikant Schmerzen und Bewegungsradius des Knies (Nigam et al., 2011),
elektromagnetische Navigation zeigte hingegen keine signifikanten Effekte (Smith et al.,
2013).
Bezüglich der Anwendung von Dehnungsübungen erwiesen sich alle drei getesteten
Variationen (aktiv, passiv, mit neuromuskulärer Förderung) als gleich wirksam (Chow et al.,
2010). Zur Effektivität von Akupunktur sind die Ergebnisse widersprüchlich: Positive
Auswirkungen auf Schmerzen und Bewegungsgrad wurden in einer randomisiert kontrollierte
Studie gefunden (Mikashima et al., 2012), in einer weiteren nicht (Tsang et al., 2007). Auch
manuelle Lymphdrainage verbesserte die Dehnung des Knies (Ebert et al., 2013).
Fazit: Zu dem Therapiemodul Physikalische Therapie (Evidenzlevel Ia) wurde eine Vielzahl
an wissenschaftlichen Belegen gefunden. Diese beziehen sich auf die Anwendung von
Kryotherapie und Elektrotherapie sowie physikalische Therapie im Allgemeinen. Bei HüftTEP-Patienten zudem auf Hydrotherapie und elektrische Muskelstimulation, bei Knie-TEPPatienten auf Kryotherapie, Elektrotherapie, Dehnungsübungen, Akupunktur und manuelle
Lymphdrainage. Die wissenschaftliche Evidenzlage hat sich somit im Vergleich zur
vorangehenden Literaturrecherche deutliche verbessert.
ETM 04 Patientenschulung TEP
Hüft-TEP
Müller et al. (2009) beschreiben in ihrem systematischen Review Hinweise auf die positiven
Auswirkungen intensiver Patientenschulungen bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten (Evidenzgrad Ib).
Einschränkend ist anzumerken, dass sich dieses Ergebnis auf nur eine Studie stützt, deren
Praxis nicht dem in Deutschland üblichen Vorgehen entspricht.
Fazit: Das Therapiemodul Patientenschulung TEP ist wissenschaftlich evidenzbasiert. Dies
stütz sich auf eine Studie bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten (Evidenzgrad Ib). Wie auch bei der
vorangehenden Literaturrecherche konnten zur Patientenschulung bei Knie-TEP keine
geeigneten Publikationen gefunden werden.
ETM 05 Gesundheitsbildung
Für die zum Modul „Gesundheitsbildung“ zugehörigen Therapieformen wurden keine
Interventionsstudien gefunden. Ein Review von Westby (2012) weist darauf hin, dass man
Hüft- und Knie-TEP-Patienten über die Vorteile körperlicher Bewegung nach der Operation
aufklären und zu einem regelmäßigen, moderaten Bewegungsprogramm motivieren sollte.
Knie-TEP
Eine deskriptive Langzeitstudie von Su und Kollegen (2010) zeigt, dass Patienten nach der
Entlassung aus dem Krankenhaus vor allem das Bedürfnis nach Aufklärung über mögliche
weitere Krankenhausaufenthalte haben. Der Bedarf an gesundheitsbezogenen Leistungen
ist unter anderem abhängig von Stresssymptomen, Alter und Geschlecht.
Eine weitere, quasi-experimentelle Studie (Chen et al., 2014) zeigt, dass eine Intervention
zur Gesundheitsbildung (kognitiv-behaviorale Gesundheitsbildungs-Intervention mit
schriftlichen Unterlagen und CD) bei Knie-TEP-Patienten zu geringeren Schmerzen und
verbesserten Körperfunktionen führt.
Fazit: Für das Therapiemodul Gesundheitsbildung besteht mäßige wissenschaftliche
Evidenz (Evidenzlevel IIb), worin bereits eine Verbesserung zum Zeitpunkt der Ersterstellung
der RTS besteht. Die gefundene Literatur gibt Hinweise darauf, dass gesundheitsbildende
Informationen, vor allem bei Knie-TEP-Patienten, positive Auswirkungen auf den
Gesundheitsstatus der Patienten haben können. Das Modul trägt zudem zur good clinical
practice bei.
ETM 06 Ernährungsschulung
Für das Modul „Ernährungsschulung“ wurden keine zugehörigen Interventionsstudien
gefunden. Ein systematisches Review von Inacio et al. (2013) zu der Frage „Verlieren
Patienten nach Hüft- oder Knie-TEP Gewicht?“ fand lediglich Studien geringer Qualität,
welche bei 14% bis 49% der Patienten Gewichtsverluste beschrieben. Nach den Autoren
besteht demnach keine Evidenz für Gewichtsveränderungen nach Hüft- oder Knie-TEP.
Knie-TEP
Eine retrospektive Kohortenstudie (Baker et al., 2013) zeigt, dass auch übergewichtige und
stark übergewichtige Knie-TEP-Patienten funktionellen Gewinn aus der Operation ziehen.
Fazit: Der Gewinn von Ernährungsschulungen nach Hüft- und Knie-TEP ist nach
wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen nicht gesichert (Evidenzlevel IIa). Auch zur Ersterstellung
wurden keine geeigneten Publikationen zum Therapiemodul gefunden, zur Wirksamkeit
können demnach keine gesicherten Aussagen getroffen werden.
ETM 07 Psychologische Beratung und Therapie
Mak et al. (2013) berichten in einem systematischen Review von kurzzeitigen
Tabakentwöhnungsprogrammen bei Hüft- und Knie-TEP-Patienten mit einem Evidenzlevel
von I bis II: Vor der Operation und während der Akutphase durchgeführt, wird ein
Tabakentwöhnungsprogramm mit geringeren Komplikationen nach der Operation assoziiert.
Eine deskriptive Studie von Nickinson et al. (2009) zeigt, dass 50% der Patienten
postoperativ depressive Symptome entwickeln, was die Notwendigkeit psychologischer
Diagnostik und Beratung anerkennt.
Hüft-TEP
Badura-Brzoza und Kollegen (2009) berichten ebenfalls allgemein von den Auswirkungen
psychischer Faktoren auf den Gesundheitsstatus von Hüft-TEP-Patienten nach der
Operation und weisen auf die Notwendigkeit der Berücksichtigung dieser Faktoren hin,
ebenso in einer Langzeitstudie von Montin et al. (2007).
Müller et al, (2009) berichten in ihrem systematischen Review von einer randomisierten
Studie zu mentalem Gehtraining bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten. Im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe
zeigten diese Patienten eine größere Verbesserung der Schrittlänge und eine tendenziell
verbesserte Gehgeschwindigkeit.
Knie-TEP
In einer ebenfalls bei Müller et al. (2009) aufgeführten Studie zu kognitiv-behavioraler
Therapie bei Knie-TEP-Patienten führt eine Kurzintervention in der Akutphase zu
Verbesserungen hinsichtlich der Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung, der Ergebniserwartung
bezüglich körperlicher Aktivität sowie der Funktion (Gehgeschwindigkeit, Aufstehen aus dem
Sitzen).
Fazit: Für einige der im Therapiemodul zusammengefassten Therapieformen besteht
wissenschaftliche Evidenz (Evidenzlevel Ib): Für Tabakentwöhnungsprogramme, für
mentales Gehtraining bei Hüft-TEP-Patienten sowie für kognitiv-behaviorale Therapie bei
Knie-TEP-Patienten, obgleich der Durchführungszeitraum der Therapien in den Studien nicht
immer dem Zeitraum der Rehabilitation entspricht. Allgemein zeigen mehrere Studien den
Bedarf an psychologischer Diagnostik und Therapie. Die Aussagen der gefundenen
Publikationen sind vergleichbar mit der Evidenzlage zum Zeitpunkt der letzten Überprüfung
der RTS.
ETM 08 Entspannungstraining
Zum Therapiemodul Entspannungstraining wurden 3 Originalarbeiten gefunden, darunter
eine Studie speziell zu Knie-TEP-Patienten. Eine randomisiert-kontrollierte Studie
(Büyükyılmaz et al., 2013) fand Hinweise, dass Entspannungstechniken und
Rückenmassage bei Hüft- und Knie-TEP-Patienten positive Auswirkungen auf Schmerzen
und Angst haben. Ebenso fand Lin (2012), dass Entspannungstherapie (Atemtechniken,
geführte Visualisierungstechniken) zu besserem Angst- und Schmerzmanagement führen
kann. Der Zeitraum beider Studien bezog sich jedoch auf 1 bis 3 Tage postoperativ.
Knie-TEP
Eine Fallstudie über eine Knie-TEP-Patientin (McClelland et al., 2012) beschreibt die positive
Wirkung von Biofeedback zum Wiedererlernen symmetrischer Bewegungsabläufe (vgl. KTL
F070 „Biofeedback“).
Fazit: Das Therapiemodul Entspannungstraining ist wissenschaftlich gut belegt (Evidenzlevel
Ib). Es liegen Studien zur Wirksamkeit von Rückenmassagen, Entspannungstechniken,
Atemtechniken, geführte Visualisierungen sowie Biofeedback bei Knie-TEP-Patienten vor.
Unklar bleibt, ob die Umstände der gefundenen Publikationen direkt auf den Alltag einer
Rehabilitationseinrichtung übertragbar sind.
ETM 09 Sozial- und sozialrechtliche Beratung
Zu diesem Therapiemodul wurde weder zu Hüft- noch zu Knie-TEP geeignete
wissenschaftliche Evidenz gefunden. Auch bei der Ersterstellung der RTS wurden keine
entsprechenden Publikationen gefunden, das Modul basiert demnach auf good clinical
practice.
ETM 10 Unterstützung der beruflichen Integration
Es wurden keine Interventionsstudien zu den Therapieangeboten im Modul „Unterstützung
der beruflichen Integration“ gefunden. Ein systematisches Review von Kuijer et al. (2009)
untersuchte die Frage nach förderlichen und hindernden Faktoren beim Wiedereinstieg in
den Beruf nach Hüft- oder Knie-TEP: Die vorhandene Evidenz war sehr gering, die Autoren
fanden jedoch Hinweise darauf, dass Bewegungseinschränkungen der Patienten nach der
Operation hinderlich auf dem Weg zur beruflichen Reintegration sind.
Hüft-TEP
Nunley et al. (2010) fanden anhand von Telefoninterviews mit 943 Hüft-TEP-Patienten unter
60 Jahren heraus, dass die meisten Patienten nach einem Jahr wieder arbeiteten (90.4%),
davon die Mehrheit im vorherigen Arbeitsgebiet. Nur sehr wenige Patienten (2.3%) waren zu
dieser Zeit noch arbeitsunfähig.
Fazit: Für die dem Modul „Unterstützung der beruflichen Integration“ zugehörigen
Therapieformen liegen derzeit keine geeigneten Publikationen vor. Gefunden wurden
lediglich Studien mit allgemeinen Aussagen zum Zeitpunkt des beruflichen Wiedereinstiegs
sowie zu förderlichen und hinderlichen Faktoren (Evidenzlevel IIa), welche einen eher
geringen Bedarf an Unterstützung bei der Berufsaufnahme vermitteln und somit mit dem
geringen Mindestanteil (20% der Rehabilitanden) im Einklang stehen.
ETM 11 Nachsorge und soziale Integration
Zum Therapiemodule Nachsorge und soziale Integration wurden 2 Studien gefunden:
Mazaleski (2011) legte in ihrer Studie an Patienten mit Gelenkprothesen keine endgültigen
Ergebnisse vor, verwies jedoch anhand ihrer Literaturrecherche auf die Wichtigkeit der
Unterstützung und Einbeziehung der Patientenangehörigen (vgl. KTL D060, D071, D072).
Hüft-TEP
Eine Studie mit Hüft-TEP-Patienten über 65 Jahren (Hordam et al., 2010) fand Hinweise,
dass unterstützende telefonische Interviews in der Nachsorgephase den Gesundheitsstatus
der Patienten verbessern.
Fazit: Zum Therapiemodul Nachsorge und soziale Integration wurden nur wenige
wissenschaftliche Belege gefunden (Evidenzlevel Ib), die einzige Interventionsstudie bezieht
sich auf die Wirksamkeit unterstützender Telefoninterviews bei älteren Hüft-TEP-Patienten.
Somit ist das Modul besser belegt als zur Ersterstellung der RTS, konkrete Hinweise zur
Ausgestaltung des Moduls lassen sich jedoch nicht ableiten

Kernergebnis
Aus Ergebnis abgeleitete
Empfehlung
Significantly fewer patients suffering
postoperative complications in clinical
pathways group compared with standard
care. Additional they have a shorter length
of stay and lower costs during the hospital
stay
Silver level evidence, that following hip or
knee joint replacement, early
multidisciplinary rehabilitation can improve
outcomes at the level of activity and
participation
Clinical pathways can improve the quality
of care. None of the included studies
analyze the cost of development and
implementation of the pathways, therefore
it’s not possible to conclude that the
implementation is a cost-effective process
The evidence presented in this review
provides modest support for the
recommendation that people following hip
or knee joint replacement should be
assessed for their need for appropriate
rehabilitation intervention
Clinical pathways for joint arthroplasty
could improve process and financial
outcomes. The effects on clinical outcome
are mixed. Evidence on team and service
outcome is lacking
Clinical pathways are a useful tool for

OHTAC recommends community-based physiotherapy after primary total knee or hip
replacement. In regards to location of physiotherapy within the community, the health
system should allow for flexibility, depending on the local care context and the patients’
needs. Current initiatives that are underway in the province to improve allocation of
physiotherapy services for primary hip and knee replacement patients should be
supported by the health care system. For patients who could attend an outpatient
physiotherapy clinic, consideration may be given to a self-managed home exercise
program with a physiotherapist monitoring through phone calls. The full benefit of a
preoperative exercise program is not as yet realized.

Well-designed RCTs with adequate power were lacking
in some areas and heterogeneity of outcome measures
across trials limited generalizability to clinical practice in
other areas.
There was a deficiency in the quality of the evidence supporting key aspects of
the continuum of care for primary THR/TKR surgery. Consequently,
recommendations were limited. For example:
- Wait times in the short to intermediate period (up to 6 months) do not
significantly result in increased pain or HRQoL, but cases will be required to be
assessed individually.
- Multidisciplinary teams are necessary to optimize preparation for surgery.
- Exercise to maintain or improve function and pain in the preoperative period
is advised.
- A short-term smoking cessation programme is implemented prior to surgery
and in the acute care period.
- Use of a structured care pathway can reduce length of stay and may improve
clinical outcomes.
When compared with land-based physical therapy, early
aquatic physical therapy does not increase the risk of
wound-related adverse. There
were no significant differences in pain .
After orthopedic surgery, aquatic physical therapy improves function and does
not increase the risk of wound-related adverse events and is as effective as
land-based therapy in terms of pain, edema, strength, and range of motion in
the early postoperative period.

Each of the nine RCTs addressed a
specific issue and overall the results were
sparse. In the early postoperative phase
favorable outcomes were due to
ergometer cycling and maximal strength
training. Inconclusive results were
reported for aquatic exercises, bed
exercises without external resistance or
without its progressive increase according
to the overload principle, and timing. In the

effectiveness has been shown. Late
postoperative programs are useful and
should comprise weight-bearing exercises

Results indicate that physiotherapy
exercise after discharge following total
hip replacement has the potential to
benefit patients.
Insufficient evidence exists to establish
the effectiveness of physiotherapy
exercise following primary hip
replacement for osteoarthritis. Further
well designed trials are required to
determine the value of post discharge
exercise following this increasingly
common surgical procedure.

Insufficient evidence exists to build up a
detailed evidence-based exercise protocol

support specific exercise types which
should be added to usual mobility training

We recommend early rehabilitation after
uncemented THA with a reciprocally gait

independency in ADL in case patients
walk limp-free and walking without
crutches as soon as possible. During the

The literature review results showed some
advantage for programs of ambulatory
physiotherapy for patients able to return
home just after total hip replacement. The
main outcomes ameliorated are muscle
strength and function. However, studies
were methodologically limited.
There is high-quality evidence that
continuous passive motion increases
passive knee flexion range of motion and
active knee flexion range of motion. These
effects are too small to be clinically
worthwhile.
Quadriceps muscle impairments and how
these impairments can contribute to the
related functional limitations following TKA
When the patient can return home directly
from the surgery department, we
recommend ambulatory physiotherapy as
suggested by French clinical practice. The
program and number and objectives of the
ambulatory rehabilitation must be defined
in future trials with good methodology.
The effects of continuous passive motion
on knee range of motion are too small to
justify its use. There is weak evidence that
continuous passive motion reduces the
subsequent need for manipulation under
anaesthesia.
Muscle impairments that exist following a
TKA may persist for years. Improving
quadriceps strength may mitigate these
impairments and result in improved
functional outcomes. An emphasis on
muscle weakness countermeasures, like
resistance exercises and NMES, is
needed.
Interventions including physiotherapy
functional exercises after discharge result
in short term benefit after elective primary
total knee arthroplasty. Effect sizes are
small to moderate, with no long term
benefit.

The meta-analyses showed that TKA
patients had weaker quadriceps than the
controls at every postoperative time. The
meta-analyses of hamstring strength for
patients 1–3 years post-operatively also
showed patient weakness and no
significant difference at N3 years postoperatively
The review reported that there appeared
to be little differences in radiological or
clinical outcomes between patients who
are full weight bearing, began immediate
active exercises, and were not
immobilized in a knee brace, compared to
those who were initially non-weight
bearing, instructed not to exercise their
knee, and were immobilized in a knee
brace during the initial postoperative
weeks.

Good methodological quality studies are
needed to assess different CPM
modalities and compare them to
alternative intermittent
mobilization techniques
In conclusion, progressive exercise is
critical to recovery after TKA. There is a
large decrease in quadriceps strength
immeridately aftr TKA, which is attributed
to activation deficits and atrophy
There was low quality evidence of
quadriceps and hamstring weakness
following TKA. Further research
is required to determine if other lower limb
muscles also display similar muscle
weakness.
There was insufficient evidence to draw
firm conclusions about the optimal postoperative rehabilitation regimen for
patients who had undergone medial
patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for
patellar instability, and further good-quality
research was required.

On analysis, patients with TKA wounds
closed in flexion had greater flexion range
of motion and required less domiciliary
physiotherapy compared to those with
wounds closed in full extension.
Three studies showed positive effects of
CPM for short term ROM and two studies
for incidence of needed manipulations and
pain intensity. Positive effects for knee
ccircumference, ‘functional status’ and
muscle strength were found by one study
each. One pragmatic study showed a
relatively progressive CPM treatment to
be more effective than a relatively
conservative form.
These studies show that there may be
short term benefits with using continuous
passive motion particularly for range of
motion, but these effects are generally not
long term.
The specific degree of knee flexion used
when closing total knee replacement
wounds may be an important
variable to clinical outcome.
There is morderate evidence for CPM
after TKA being effective for (short term)
ROM. There is limited evidence for CPM
being effective for incidence of
manipulations, pain intensity, knee
circumference, ‘functional status’ and
muscle strength. Evidence is limited for a
relatively progressive form of CPM being
the most effective.
There is limited evidence on the beneficial
effect of continuous passive motion on
knee function.

There is emerging evidence that strength
and functional gains can be made after the
acute postoperative recovery period with
programs focusing on the use of
progressive aquatic exercise or eccentric
exercise
. Cryotherapy increases knee flexion at the
time of discharge (6 degrees), and
reduces blood loss but does not reduce
the rate of donor blood transfusion
Functional recovery following TKA can be
enhanced by the use of NMES and
utilization of a comprehensive, higher
intensity strength training program in
conjunction with traditional rehabilitation
approaches
Recommendation: Small and temporary
benefits gained from cryotherapy do not
support its routine use after TKR
Six of the studies showed significantly
lower pain scores in the cold compression
group than in a control group. Overall,
most of the studies showed no difference
in ROM of the operated knee , a decrease
in swelling, and a decrease in blood loss
with the cold compression
Even though current evidence does not
point to the Cryo/Cuff as being more
effective, it appears to provide better
patient outcomes – patient comfort and
being kept informed are two major facors
in patient care

There is evidence to suggest that
evaluation and management of
perioperative psychosocial and other
patient factors are important in enhancing
outcomes after TJA. Further, there is a
growing body of research that points to the
importance of progressive resistance
training after TJA to address the muscle
weakness associated with aging and endstage hip and knee OA, and secondary to
the surgery itself, and to optimize
functional outcomes
With the projected increases in number of
individuals undergoing TJA over the next
two decades, it becomes even more
critical to develop cost-effective
rehabilitation strategies and identify
individuals who would most benefit from
such interventions

The Hospital Anxiety
and Depression Scale
was used to measure
anxiety and
depression levels.
Patients completed the
questionnaire on the
day prior to surgery,
then on each postoperative day up to
and including their day
of discharge
Post-operatively 17
patients became
anxious prior to
discharge. No
variables were
significant predictors of
anxiety. Postoperatively 28 subjects
(50%) became
depressed at some
point prior to
discharge. Females
were more likely to
become depressed
than males Those who
had had a previous
lower limb arthroplasty
were more likely to
develop post-operative
depression
The results suggest
that post-operative
depression does occur
in orthopaedic surgery.
The prevalence may
be higher than that
reported in other
surgical specialities.
These findings
emphasize the need
for evaluation of
