About this study

Official title: Early Rehabilitation After Toal Hip Replacement. -Effect of Supervised Progressive Resistance Training

The purpose of this study is to determine whether supervised progressive resistance training is effective in the early phase after Total Hip Replacement. The investigators hypothesise that 10 weeks of supervised, progressive resistance training immediately after discharge will lead to increased functional performance, muscle strength and muscle power compared to standard rehabilitation consisting of home-based exercise.

Read the detailed description

After total hip replacement (THR) surgery there is a documented deficit in muscle strength and functional performance. There is a lack of evidence concerning the effectiveness of postoperative physiotherapy and training, however a few small studies have shown promising effect of resistance training.

The present study will provide new and important knowledge concerning the effect of different rehabilitation strategies after THR. This might lead to a change in the rehabilitation regimes and faster and better recovery after THR surgery.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Supervised progressive resistance trainingOther

    Resistance training 2 times/week initiated within the first week after total hip replacement. The training is supervised by physiotherapists and individually progressed.

  • Control groupOther

    Standard rehabilitation consisting of home-based exercises with 2 postoperative instructions by a physiotherapist.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Leg extension power

    The power in leg extension is measured using the Nottingham leg extension power rig. Data is provided in watt and adjusted for bodyweight (watt/kg)

    Measured: 10 weeks postoperative

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Walking speed

    Maximal walking speed measured over 20 m.

    Measured: 4 weeks postoperative

  2. Sit-to-stand

    The maximal number of rises from a chair within 30 seconds

    Measured: 10 weeks postoperative

  3. Stair test

    The time taken to ascend 18 steps as fast as possible

    Measured: 10 weeks postoperative

  4. Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Questionnaire. A disease-specific patient reported outcome measure of function, pain, sport/recreation and quality of life related to the hip.

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  5. Walking speed

    Maximal walking speed measured over 20 m.

    Measured: 10 weeks

  6. Walking speed

    Maximal walking speed measured over 20 m.

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  7. Leg extension power

    The power in leg extension is measured using the Nottingham leg extension power rig. Data is provided in watt and adjusted for bodyweight (watt/kg)

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  8. Sit-to-stand

    The maximal number of rises from a chair within 30 seconds

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  9. Stair test

    The time taken to ascend 18 steps as fast as possible

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  10. Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Questionnaire. A disease-specific patient reported outcome measure of function, pain, sport/recreation and quality of life related to the hip.

    Measured: 2 weeks postoperative

  11. Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Questionnaire. A disease-specific patient reported outcome measure of function, pain, sport/recreation and quality of life related to the hip.

    Measured: 4 weeks postoperative

  12. Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Questionnaire. A disease-specific patient reported outcome measure of function, pain, sport/recreation and quality of life related to the hip.

    Measured: 6 weeks postoperative

  13. Isometric muscle strength

    Test of isometric muscle strength in hip abduction and hip flexion using hand-held dynamometry

    Measured: 4 weeks postoperative

  14. Isometric muscle strength

    Test of isometric muscle strength in hip abduction and hip flexion using hand-held dynamometry

    Measured: 10 weeks postoperative

  15. Isometric muscle strength

    Test of isometric muscle strength in hip abduction and hip flexion using hand-held dynamometry

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  16. Gait quality

    Instrumented gait analysis using a combined accelerometer and gyro-sensor in 20 meter walk test and stair climb test. The purpose is to measure asymmetry between limps during walking and stair climbing and compare the two groups according to these variables. This outcome measure is performed on a subgroup of participants (n=26, 13 in each group)

    Measured: 10 weeks postoperative

  17. Gait quality

The purpose is to measure asymmetry between limps during walking and stair climbing and compare the two groups according to these variables. This outcome measure is performed on a subgroup of participants (n=26, 13 in each group)

    Measured: 6 months postoperative

  18. Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Questionnaire. A disease-specific patient reported outcome measure of function, pain, sport/recreation and quality of life related to the hip.

    Measured: 10 weeks postoperative

  19. Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)

    Questionnaire. A disease-specific patient reported outcome measure of function, pain, sport/recreation and quality of life related to the hip.

    Measured: 1 year postoperative
