Brief Summary

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common interventions in orthopedic surgery. Rehabilitation is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of the surgery. Tele-rehabilitation programs after orthopedic surgery have proven their effectiveness, validity and cost-efficacy. It seems of interest to test the potential advantages of early virtual reality based rehabilitation programs after total hip arthroplasty compared to standard care. The aim of the study is to evaluate the functional recovery following total hip arthroplasty and home telerehabilitation programs with a virtual reality based system.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS JR)

    the HOOS JR scale scores ranges from 0 to 100 where 0 represents total hip disability and 100 represents perfect hip health

    15 ± 1 days after the surgery (T3)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS JR)

    baseline (before surgery (T0)), 4 ± 1 days after the surgery (T1), 7 ± 2 days after the surgery (T2)

  • BARTHEL INDEX (BI)

    baseline (before surgery (T0)), 4 ± 1 days after the surgery (T1), 15 ± 1 days after the surgery (T3)

  • Functional Independence Measure (FIM)

    baseline (before surgery (T0)), 4 ± 1 days after the surgery (T1), 15 ± 1 days after the surgery (T3)

  • Global Perceived Effect (GPE)

    15 ± 1 days after the surgery (T3)
