Introduction

Previous systematic reviews have shown that patients experience low physical activity levels following total hip replacement (THR). However no previous systematic reviews have examined the changes between pre- and post-operative physical activity levels.

Methods

AMED, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, CINHAL, openSIGLE, ClinicalTrials.gov and UK Clinical Trials Gateway databases were searched to 19th May 2015. All study designs presenting data on physical activity at pre- and up to one-year post-operatively were included. Eligible studies were critically appraised using the Cochrane risk of bias tool (for randomised controlled trials (RCTs)) and the CASP tool (non-RCTs). Where possible, mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated through meta-analyses.
