PAIR European Project will develop and promote a physical activity (The PAIR exercise Program, PA) program for subjects operated of total hip or total knee replacement (THR/TKR), to be administered after completing the rehabilitation treatment.
The overall project goal is to promote at European level shared knowledge, methods and approaches to support patients to regain functioning, optimal physical activity and participation in social and vocational domains after THR/TKR.
Adequate PA provides many benefits, including improve physical function, reduced risk of fall, reduced risk of death and improved cognitive function.
Since physical activity is fundamental for the recovery of health, its promotion becomes essential for people who have gone through THR/TKR, long period of inactivity and possible disability due to severe osteoarthritis
