Summary

This pilot cluster-randomized, two-arm parallel-group controlled trial, aims at enhancing the understanding of the effects of real-time feedback on functional deficits as knee valgus thrust, pelvic drop, and lateral trunk lean after total hip arthroplasty. Biomechanical and patient-reported outcomes will be assessed after a total hip arthroplasty as well as at three and six months follow-ups. The primary research question is, whether digital real-time feedback supported home-exercising improves the control of the frontal knee range of motion, pelvic obliquity, and lateral trunk lean, superior to exercising supported by written instructions as comparator. The secondary aspect focuses on potential differences between groups concerning aspects of quality of life, function, and physical activity. Tertiary functional outcomes between groups will be compared for reasons of quantification movement quality.
