Group Exercise After Hip Replacement Surgery

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Osteoarthritis, Hip
• Interventions: Other: Group training

• Registration Number: NCT01253798
• Lead Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which group exercise one should choose when hip osteoarthritis patients have undergone hip replacement surgery. To determine this, we want to answer the following research question:

Are there differences in function and muscle strength in osteoarthritis patients who conduct group training either on land or in water in the rehabilitation phase following hip replacement surgery?

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group training on land	Group training	Group training in water and on land are carried out by the same principles, which is to improve general function, and to improve function and strength around the operated hip.
Group training in water	Group training	Group training in water and on land are carried out by the same principles, which is to improve general function, and to improve function and strength around the operated hip

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Function1	Pre-operative	Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
Function2	Post-operative	Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
Funtion3	After 12 weeks training	Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Muscle strength1	Pre-operative	Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.
Muscle strength2	Post-operative	Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.
Muscle strength3	After 12 weeks training	Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.
