Physical Therapy Following Total Hip Arthroplasty

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hip Osteoarthritis, Surgery

In brief

130 patients undergoing primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty through anterior approach were enrolled and randomized into one of two groups. One group received standard of care clinic-based physical therapy postoperatively (clinic PT) while the other group underwent progressive home-based exercises to do after surgery (home PT). Patient surveys with Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (HOOS) and SF12v2 scores for both groups were obtained before surgery as well as 6, 14, and 24 weeks postop. Patients had the option to crossover into the other study group at their 6-week follow-up visit.
