About this study

Official title: Randomized, Clinical Survey for Evaluating the Effect of Rehabilitation Sport on Patients Who Underwent Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

160 patients who received a total hip arthroplasty (THA) were included and randomized to receive specific rehabilitation sport (RS) or not (control) in addition to a conventional rehabilitation program. Upon completion of the rehabilitation phase 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after surgery sports medical measurements have been performed. Strength abilities of the hip muscles were tested with isokinetic dynamometry, postural control with a force measuring platform and endurance via lactate measurements.

Read the detailed description

In Germany, rehabilitation sport (RS) is a reimbursed postoperative measure in order to support socio-professional reintegration and self-help.

160 patients who received a primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) were included and randomized to receive specific RS or not (control) in addition to a conventional rehabilitation program. Upon completion of the rehabilitation phase 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months after surgery sports medical measurements have been performed. Strength abilities of the hip muscles were tested with isokinetic dynamometry, postural control with a force measuring platform and endurance via lactate measurements. The goal of the study was to prospectively randomized evaluate the effect of RS on hip-related muscular strength, endurance and postural stability on patients who underwent THA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rehabilitation sport in people with Total Hip Arthroplasty and Osteoarthritis, Hip, run by Technische Universität Dresden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hip-related muscular strength (time frame: change from baseline (6 weeks) at 6 months after THA). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Aug 2018.
