Thesis abstract:
«p»In current clinical practice, both in public and private sectors, rehabilitation services are integrated into the post-operative care for total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, there is a significant inconsistency in what is believed to be the gold standard for the rehabilitation setting, level of care and duration after TJA . This thesis is aimed to better understand the factors influencing the decision behind an individual’s discharge destination of choice after total hip and knee arthoplasty.«/p»
