Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Aim – Determine effectiveness of physiotherapeutic in- hospital intervention protocol for reducing functional impairments in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients during a short follow-up period. Relevance – Without a rehabilitation program, THA patients will develop functional limitations.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Method 106 THA patients. – THA protocol (THAP) group: Verbal instructions + physiotherapy exercise demonstrations. – THA physiotherapy care protocol (THAPCP) group: Same verbal instructions and demonstrations + daily exercise practice guided by physiotherapist. Outcomes: – Muscle strength force, goniometry, Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey, and Merle d’Aubigné and Postel score. – Assessed preoperatively and 15 d postoperatively.

Slideshow Project DOI: /JRRD JSP Conclusion Intervention in THAPCP group: – Improved functional capacity, quality of life, mobility, muscle strength, goniometry, and pain at end of follow-up period. – Appears to be a safe tool for accelerating recovery in THA patients. – Emphasizes importance of physiotherapist in successful THA rehabilitation.
