Summary

The aim of this trial is to test the hypothesis that patients with severe hip osteoarthritis postpone time to hip replacement surgery following participation in a patient education and supervised exercise program when compared to patients receiving patient education alone.

Detailed description

Hip replacements are performed at an increasing rate, also in younger and less disabled patients. Recent studies indicate non-surgical interventions being effective in reducing pain and disability also at later stages of disease when hip replacement is considered. Possible, non-surgical treatments can be used to postpone hip replacement. The effect of education and supervised exercise on time to hip replacement is largely unknown

Conditions

• Osteoarthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Supervised exercise	Patients in the exercise groups will receive two types of exercise, delivered on separate days. One type of exercise is individualized, goal-based neuromuscular training (NEMEX-TJR) in groups with progression guided by the patient's neuromuscular function. The other type of exercise is individualized, intensive resistance training (RT) in groups with each exercise progression guided by load. Each of the two types of exercise will be offered weekly during the 12 week intervention period in sessions lasting 60-70 minutes. Thus, the entire exercise intervention consists of 24 sessions
OTHER	Patient education	The patient education program is designed to educate the patients about hip osteoarthritis during 3 sessions of 90 min. duration
