Exercise therapy to improve hip and spine mobility
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether specific exercises can improve the way your hip and lower back move together. It may help you move better and feel more comfortable before or after your hip replacement surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You have been scheduled for a total hip replacement (hip arthroplasty).
- You have hip osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis in your hip).
- You have not had a spinal fusion (a surgery that joins spine bones together) and are not having a revision hip replacement (a second hip replacement on the same hip).
- You can perform the exercise program without needing a walker or someone to help you, and you can do imaging at a specific time of day.

This study tests a physical therapy technique that moves the hip to help reduce pain and improve daily function in women with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis, where one spine bone slips forward. It may help you move better and feel less limited in daily activities.
This study tests whether a mobile app can help with physical therapy after common bone or joint surgeries. You may qualify if you recently had a hip fracture, hip or knee replacement, or spine surgery without paralysis. The app guides your exercises at home.
This clinical trial is testing whether a special electrical stimulation therapy applied to the muscles of the lower back can improve spine and pelvic alignment in people who are having knee replacement surgery. If you have knee arthritis and also have spine/pelvis alignment problems, this therapy might help you stand straighter and recover more comfortably after surgery.
This study compares two different exercise programs—one focusing on upper back mobility and the other on hip mobility—both combined with core strengthening exercises, to see which works better for reducing pain and improving function in people with lower back arthritis. If you are in your 40s–60s with long-lasting back pain that radiates down your leg but not past your knee, this trial might offer a structured way to explore exercise-based treatment.
This study compares the effects of adding exercise to an education program for people with hip osteoarthritis. It aims to see if exercise improves pain, function, and hip joint health (measured by MRI) more than education alone.
This trial tests a prehabilitation program (exercises before surgery) to see if it helps older people recover better after total hip replacement. The program may strengthen your muscles and improve your overall health before the operation.
