Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of an exercise program with a cycle ergometer in functional outcome and related-health quality of life (RHQL) in elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty.
Detailed Description
Behavioral: Ergometer Cycling Ergometer Cycling under the guidance of a physical therapist after the second postoperative week. These training sessions were scheduled to be performed two times a week for a time period of at least eith weeks. Behavioral: No ergometer cycling Patients of the no ergometer cycling group did not receive any ergometer cycling after surgery, only conventional exercises.
