Thigh Swelling, Hip-muscle Strength, and Functional Performance Following Total Hip Arthroplasty

Thigh Swelling, Hip-muscle Strength, and Functional Performance Following Total Hip Arthroplasty Monitored Pre-operatively, on the Day of Discharge, and One Week Post-surgery

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 30 (actual)
• Sponsor: Hvidovre University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

By this study the investigators wish to (1) quantify hip strength and functional-performance deficits at discharge after fast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA), and (2) investigate if changes in thigh circumferences, or hip pain are correlated to changes in hip strength and functional-performance after fast-track THA.

Detailed description

The investigators intend to use the results to optimize the rehabilitation programs for THA patients shortly after surgery
