Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of total hip arthroplasties (THA) and total knee arthroplasties (TKA) through measurement of functional outcome via the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) and activity level using the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Score for patients with elective, primary THA or TKA. Method: Patients scheduled for THA or TKA completed the SMFA and UCLA Activity Score during routine assessment and intervention sessions preoperatively, and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up visits. Hospital personnel de-identified and entered SMFA, UCLA Activity Score, and demographic data from a convenience sample into an Excel spreadsheet. Researchers entered data into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for analysis. Results: From a sample of 490 patients, complete data for patients with THA (n = 27) and TKA (n = 21) could be used for analysis. Insufficient data prevented analysis of 6-month and 12-month THA, and 12-month TKA time frames. An independent t-test and independent samples test confirmed similarities of SMFA and UCLA Activity Score for THA and TKA, allowing the two populations to be combined for analysis. Total SMFA and all subcategories showed more disability than normative values at pre-operation. Results from a paired t-test indicated significant improvements in total SMFA scores from pre-operation to 1 month, and from 1 to 3 months. Arm and hand, mobility, and emotional subcategories of the SMFA showed significant improvements from pre-operation to 1 month; the activities of daily living subcategory showed a significant improvement from 1 to 3 months. Total SMFA, activities of daily living, emotional status, and mobility subcategory mean scores were statistically similar to normative values by 6 months, whereas arm and hand mean score was better than normative value by 1 month. Results from a Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test indicated a significant improvement in UCLA Activity Score from 1 to 3 months. Conclusion: THA and TKA impact multiple areas of occupational performance and nonoperative areas of the body. Researchers and clinicians can use the SMFA and UCLA Activity Score to measure multidimensional outcomes for THA or TKA.
