Strength and Function Following Total Hip Arthroplasty

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Total Hip Arthroplasty

In brief

To determine if patients who receive an 8 week, comprehensive, multi-component rehabilitation program (CMC) have better strength and functional performance compared to a control group (CON). The investigators hypothesize that functional performance and strength in the muscles surrounding the hip and the knee will be greater in the multi-component rehabilitation group compared to the control group.
