Participants' preferences for prehabilitation tools included offering eHealth tools in multiple mediums of delivery (eg, written materials, pictures, videos). Participants preferred simplified information that emphasized the key points and rationale for the knowledge. There were differences in preferred timeline for having access to prehabilitation education, such as some participants wanting to receive prehabilitation well in advance, while others stated just before surgery was adequate. Our findings provide novel and actionable information about patient and caregiver perspectives on features and characteristics of prehabilitation education for patients with hip and knee OA.
