NCT06708884 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: ErsoyU.22112024

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if telerehabilitation in patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does telerehabilitation improve the functional level of the participants?
• Does telerehabilitation improve the locomotor performance of the participants? Researchers will compare telerehabilitation to face to face rehabilitation (traditional rehabilitation programme) to see if telerehabilitation works in total hip arthroplasty recovery. Participants will:
• Attend physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions supervised by a physiotherapist 2 days a week for 8 weeks.
• Participate in assessments (before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery).

Conditions

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

Keywords

total hip arthroplasty; telerehabilitation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Functional level

  Functional level was assessed using the Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index consists of 24 questions and 3 subcategories (pain, stiffness and physical function). Pain is evaluated with 5 questions, stiffness with 2 questions and physical function with 17 questions. Each question in the Index is scored from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe, very difficult). The total score can be a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100. In addition, each subcategory can also be evaluated on its own. A higher score on the Index indicates more symptoms and physical disability.

  Assessments will be performed before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Pain intensity

  Assessments will be performed before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery.

• Quality of life

  Assessments will be performed before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery.

• Locomotor performance

  Assessments will be performed before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery.

• Lower extremity muscle strength

  Assessments will be performed before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery.

• Hip Joint Range of Motion (ROM)

  Assessments will be performed before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery.
