About this study

Official title: What Type of Group Exercise Should be Chosen for Osteoarthritis Patients in the Rehabilitation Phase Following Hip Replacement Surgery?

The purpose of this study is to determine which group exercise one should choose when hip osteoarthritis patients have undergone hip replacement surgery. To determine this, we want to answer the following research question:

Are there differences in function and muscle strength in osteoarthritis patients who conduct group training either on land or in water in the rehabilitation phase following hip replacement surgery?

What participants receive

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

  • Group trainingOther

    Each session lasts 50 minutes and consists of warm-up, mobility training, strength training, balance training and endurance training. Mobility training is conducted to increase range of motion in the operated hip, strength exercises are conducted to strengthen muscles around the operated hip, balance training are conducted to improve stability around the operated hip and endurance training are conducted to increase patients' physical capacity. This is in line with current guidelines for the exercise of osteoarthritis patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Function1

    Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

    Measured: Pre-operative

  2. Function2

    Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

    Measured: Post-operative

  3. Funtion3

    Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

    Measured: After 12 weeks training

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Muscle strength1

    Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.

    Measured: Pre-operative

  2. Muscle strength2

    Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.

    Measured: Post-operative

  3. Muscle strength3

    Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.

    Measured: After 12 weeks training
