Balance changes after hip replacement for arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how your balance changes after a hip replacement for arthritis. You will have your balance tested before and after surgery to help doctors understand recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have a hip replacement on one hip only (not both) because of osteoarthritis.
- You can walk at least 10 meters (about 33 feet) on your own, even if you use a cane or walker.
- You can read, write, and speak English.
- You do not have any other serious health problems that would make it unsafe or hard to complete the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at differences inside the hip joint and in body cells when people have hip arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis and receive a hip replacement. Researchers hope this can improve understanding and future treatments for these conditions.
This study tests a prehabilitation program (exercises before surgery) for older adults waiting for a total hip replacement. The goal is to see if strengthening before surgery helps recovery afterward. It is for people with severe hip arthritis who are otherwise in good health.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for total hip replacement: the direct superior approach and the posterolateral approach. It aims to see which one leads to better recovery and outcomes for people with severe hip arthritis.
This study involves people with hip osteoarthritis who are planning a first total hip replacement. It tests a “pre-op modelling” approach—likely helping plan care around surgery—to see if it improves how patients do.
This study looks at how women walk, keep their balance, and avoid falling after knee replacement surgery. Researchers want to understand these movement patterns to help improve recovery and safety.
This study tests a fun, game-based balance exercise program for people recovering from their first hip replacement. It may help you improve your balance and recover faster.
