Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Harris Hip Score, Oxford hip score, patient specific activity scale (a scale on
which a patient scores the activities most important for him/her on a scale
from 0 to 5 ), functional phyiotherapeutical tests.
Secondary outcome
n.v.t.
Background summary
At the end of their clinical admission, patients who underwent a hip
arthroplasty don't have an optimal function yet. It is expected that this
function optimalizes by natural recovery and clinical information. At the Sint
Maartenskliniek people aren't automatically referred to a primary health care
physical therapist. In literature we find indications that physical therapy
post clinical may lead to better and faster recovery. There are also clues that
the results are better if the care connects with the individual needs of the
patient. In this randomized clinical trial we investigate the surplus value of
post clinical physical therapy given by therapists of the SMK in the recovery
of this patients.
Study objective
Do patients who receive a physical therapy treatment at the Sint
Maartenskliniek have a better functional status then patients who don't,
measured at 8 weeks, and does this effect remain 6 months after surgery.
Study design
randomized clinical trial
Intervention
The experimental group receives a physical therapy program for 8 weeks, twice a
week for 30 minutes, the control group doesn't receive any treatment.
Study burden and risks
Patients must count for an investment of aproximately 10 hours. The risks
associated with participation are small. The treatment is one that regularly
accurs at the SMK. Given by experienced and expert therapists.
