Therapeutic exercises for hip replacement mobility
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if specific therapeutic exercises improve how the pelvis and spine move together after a total hip replacement. If you're scheduled for a first-time hip replacement due to arthritis and can exercise independently, you may be able to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old and scheduled for a first-time total hip replacement.
- You have osteoarthritis in that hip (the main reason for surgery).
- You do not have a spinal fusion surgery in your past.
- You do not have significant arthritis symptoms in your other hip (the one not being replaced).
- You are able to do exercises safely on your own, without needing a walker or another person to help you.
