Key Points

This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of various prehabilitation modalities before total hip arthroplasty compared to standard care.
Systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
21 RCTs involving 1061 participants analyzed various prehabilitation modalities
Evaluated outcomes included physical function, pain, and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL).
Tai Chi significantly improved physical function and TUG performance with moderate confidence.
Multidomain exercise reduced pain and enhanced HR-QoL.
Lower-extremity strength training improved HR-QoL, albeit with low confidence in some outcomes.
