ABSTRACT
Background:
Most older adults are discharged directly home with prescribed paper-based home exercises after total joint replacement (TJR). Completing home exercise programs remains a significant challenge for older adults after TJR, often resulting in suboptimal rehabilitation outcomes. Augmented reality (AR) technologies offer a promising approach to addressing some of the challenges associated with traditional home-based exercise programs.
Objective:
To prioritize design features and outline practical/logistical considerations to guide the design of a proposed 3-dimensional AR system (3D ARS) to support home-based exercise programming for older adults after TJR.
Methods:
A cross-sectional online survey of 56 older adults with TJR and 89 healthcare providers across Canada. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results:
Stakeholders prioritized key design features and practical/logistical considerations, including options for individualization and customized feedback, usability and accessibility features, and cost and equity considerations.
Conclusions:
These recommendations, generated using an inclusive and systematic process, will inform our future efforts to design, evaluate and implement a prototype 3D ARS, ultimately enhancing the post-TJR rehabilitation experiences of older adults. Clinical Trial: Not applicable
