Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Group training	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.
