About this study
Official title: Effect of Early Rehabilitation on Functional Recovery After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study aims to investigate the effects of an early postoperative rehabilitation program combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and telerehabilitation on functional recovery in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
In the early postoperative period, patients commonly experience muscle weakness, impaired gait, and functional limitations that may delay recovery. Early rehabilitation has been shown to improve functional outcomes, while NMES may enhance muscle activation, particularly in hip abductor muscles. Additionally, telerehabilitation may support continuity of care following discharge by enabling supervised home-based exercise.
In this prospective study, participants will be assigned to either an intervention group receiving early physiotherapy combined with NMES and telerehabilitation, or a control group receiving standard postoperative care. Functional outcomes, gait parameters, quality of life, and muscle-related changes will be evaluated at predefined time points.
Read the detailed description
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an early postoperative rehabilitation program combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and telerehabilitation in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Following THA, patients frequently experience muscle weakness, gait asymmetries, and reduced functional capacity, which may prolong recovery. Although early mobilization and rehabilitation are widely recommended, the combined effects of NMES and telerehabilitation within a structured early-phase rehabilitation program have not been sufficiently investigated.
Participants will be randomly allocated into intervention and control groups using a simple randomization method. The intervention group will receive a structured physiotherapy program initiated on the first postoperative day and continued daily during hospitalization. This program will be combined with NMES targeting the gluteus medius muscle, applied using surface electrodes placed over the motor point with stimulation parameters adjusted according to patient tolerance.
After discharge, participants in the intervention group will continue a structured home-based exercise program supported by synchronous telerehabilitation sessions conducted three times per week. These sessions will enable real-time supervision, feedback on exercise performance, and progression based on standardized tolerance criteria.
The control group will receive the standard postoperative care protocol routinely applied in the clinic, without additional NMES or telerehabilitation support.
All participants will be evaluated at predefined time points: preoperatively (within 3 days before surgery), at discharge (postoperative day 6), and at postoperative week 4. Outcome assessments will be performed by an experienced physiotherapist blinded to group allocation, and intervention delivery and outcome assessment will be conducted by different physiotherapists.
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the addition of NMES and telerehabilitation to early rehabilitation improves functional recovery following THA. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in muscle strength, joint mobility, pain levels, gait characteristics, and muscle morphology.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Timed Up and Go (TUG) Test
Functional mobility will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The time required to stand up from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn, return, and sit down will be recorded in seconds.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4.
10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT)
Gait speed will be assessed using the 10-Meter Walk Test. Walking speed will be recorded in meters per second (m/s).
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Stair Climb Test
Functional lower extremity performance will be assessed using the Stair Climb Test. The time required to ascend and descend a standardized flight of stairs will be recorded in seconds.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Secondary outcomes (9)
6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
Functional exercise capacity will be assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test. The total walking distance covered in 6 minutes will be recorded in meters.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Hip Muscle Strength (Manual Muscle Testing)
Hip muscle strength (flexion, extension, and abduction) will be evaluated using Manual Muscle Testing, graded on a scale from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates no muscle contraction and 5 indicates normal muscle strength. Higher scores indicate better muscle strength.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Range of Motion (ROM)
Hip joint range of motion (flexion, extension, and abduction) will be measured using a goniometer and recorded in degrees. Higher values indicate greater joint mobility.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Pain Intensity (Visual Analog Scale - VAS)
Pain intensity during movement will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10-centimeter scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate worse pain.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Hip Function and Quality of Life (International Hip Outcome Tool-12)
Hip-related function and quality of life will be assessed using the International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (IHOT-12). Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better hip function and quality of life.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Gluteus Medius Muscle Sarcopenia (CT-Based Assessment)
Gluteus medius muscle sarcopenia will be assessed using computed tomography (CT) imaging. Muscle cross-sectional area and composition will be analyzed.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery) and postoperative week 4
Step Length
Step length will be assessed using gait analysis methods and recorded in meters. Higher values indicate better gait performance.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Cadence
Cadence will be assessed using gait analysis methods and recorded as steps per minute. Higher values indicate better gait performance.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4
Walking Speed
Walking speed will be assessed using gait analysis methods and recorded in meters per second (m/s). Higher values indicate better gait performance.
Measured: Preoperative (within 3 days before surgery), postoperative day 6 (at discharge), and postoperative week 4

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Cansu Dal, Specialist Physiotherapist (+905379773071, ptcansudal@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
