Brief Summary  

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate a multimodal prehabilitation program combining psychological counselling, slow breathing exercises, and heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring in patients undergoing orthopedic implant surgery. One hundred participants will be randomized into two groups: study (comprehensive prehabilitation plus standard care) and control (standard care alone). The intervention is delivered for one week prior to surgery.

Primary outcomes are postoperative complication rate and functional recovery. Secondary measures include stress (PSS-10), anxiety (HAM-A), quality of life (Flanagan QoL), pain scores, HRV indices, body composition, and biochemical markers (IL-6, IgG, MDA). Assessments are taken at admission, after the intervention, and one week post-surgery, with one-year telephonic follow-up for recovery and complications.

This study seeks to create a low-cost, structured prehabilitation protocol to optimize perioperative readiness and outcomes in orthopedic implant surgery patients.
