Özet

Aim: This study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between exercise barriers-benefits with joint range of motion (ROM), quality of life, and physical performance in individuals with total hip arthroplasty (THA). Material and Method: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with fifty older individuals with THA. Patients were evaluated with the 5-Times Sit and Stand Test (5TSTS), Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale (EBBS), and EuroQol (EQ-5D-5L) Quality of Life Scale. In addition, the patient's active ROM was measured with a universal goniometer. Results: There was a significant low correlation between body mass index (BMI) and EBBS-Benefits sub-score (r=-0.286 p<0.05). EQ-5D-5L VAS was weakly correlated with EBBS (r=-0.291, p<0.05). 5TSTS was moderately correlated with EBBS Barriers sub-score, EBBS Benefits sub-score, and EBBS total score, respectively (r1=0.354, r2=0.440, r3=0.444, p1<0.05, p2,3<0.01). EBBS Barriers sub-score strongly correlated with EBBS Benefits sub-score and EBBS total score, respectively (r1=0.709, r2=0.826, p<0.01). In addition, the EBBS Benefits sub-score was highly correlated with the EBBS total score (r=0.983, p<0.01). There was a low to moderate correlation between the EBBS Barriers sub-score and all active ROM measures (p<0.05). Conclusion: Individuals' exercise barriers and benefits were mainly associated with physical performance. Participants with higher exercise benefits from exercise had higher physical performance, ROM, and quality of life.
