Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of balance training in patients with THA until 26 weeks postoperatively. Thirty-two patients with hip osteoarthritis who were candidates for THA were recruited to the study. Sixteen patients with THA completed the study protocol and the patients were randomized into 2 groups: conventional rehabilitation (CR, n=8) or conventional rehabilitation plus balance training (CR + BT, n=8) groups. The patients were evaluated by hand-held dynamometer, single leg stance test (SLST), Tetrax balance system, Harris hip score, lower extremity function scale, 5 times sit-to-stand test and 50 foot timed walk test preoperatively and in the 8th, 14th and 26th weeks postoperatively.
