Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an approach based on neurocognitive rehabilitation exercises in the form of sensory-motor problems, whose solution involves the use of higher cognitive functions (attention, memory, language), not required in a traditional approach proprioceptive, in order to obtain a more complete and long-lasting recovery.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Presence of symptomatic unilateral primary hip osteoarthritis treated with surgical replacement with a posterior-lateral approach and the use of a non-cemented prosthesis (press-fit). All the implants are composed of a stem Symax (Stryker-Howmedica) and a ceramic head with coupling ceramic-ceramic and are implanted by the same surgeon.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Different diagnosis from hip osteoarthritis (eg. Fracture)
- •Concomitant osteoarthrosis of the hip or knee with gait restrictions
- •Lameness for more than six months
- •Central nervous system or Peripheral nervous system disorders
- •Systemic inflammatory disorders (eg. Rheumatoid Arthritis)
- •Systemic infectious disorders
- •Cognitive impairment
- •Neoplastic disorders
- •Surgical revisions
- •Intraoperative complications
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of WOMAC Questionnaire from baseline to 24 weeks
Time Frame: baseline, 1 week, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks
Questionnaire for the assessment of pain, stiffness and physical function. It measures physical function and symptoms of the lower limb and explores the impact of disability and pain on activities of daily living. The questionnaire is self-administered and it is based on a metric scale ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 100 (extreme difficulty).
Secondary Outcomes
- Change of parameters of Gait Analysis from baseline to 24 weeks(baseline, 1 week, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks)
- Change of Barthel Index from baseline to 24 weeks(baseline, 1 week, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks)
- Change of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from baseline to 24 weeks(baseline, 1 week, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks)
- Change of Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (PWB) from baseline to 24 weeks(baseline, 1 week, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks)
- Change of SF-36 Health Survey Questionnaire from baseline to 24 weeks(baseline, 1 week, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks)
