Brief Summary

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?

Conditions

Osteoarthritis, Hip

Keywords

exercise; hydrotherapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Function1

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

  Pre-operative

• Function2

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

  Post-operative

• Funtion3

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

  After 12 weeks training

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Muscle strength1

  Pre-operative

• Muscle strength2

  Post-operative

• Muscle strength3

  After 12 weeks training

Study Arms (2)

Group training on land

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group training in water and on land are carried out by the same principles, which is to improve general function, and to improve function and strength around the operated hip.

Other: Group training

Group training in water

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group training in water and on land are carried out by the same principles, which is to improve general function, and to improve function and strength around the operated hip

Other: Group training

Interventions

Group training OTHER

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.

Group training in water; Group training on land

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Hip osteoarthritis patients who undergo surgery with total prosthesis at St. Olav's Hospital, Department Orkdal.
• Participants must live in commuting distance from the hospital, as the training is organized as outpatient training
• Participants must be able to take instruction and master the Norwegian language

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who experience serious complications after surgery
• if a person has a disease that causes that one can not complete the planned training
