- Brief Summary
This study examines the effectiveness of rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery using a specialised app called Akina Cloud. Medical professionals at the Schulthess Clinic will provide detailed information about the study. Participants must meet certain eligibility requirements. There will be time for consideration before enrolment. A demonstration of how to use the app will be provided upon agreement. Participants will be shown how to set up their profile and interact with a real therapist who will provide feedback. The initial 30-minute introduction is scheduled to take place a few days after surgery while still in hospital. Participants will be asked to complete several questionnaires. The rehabilitation process involves using the app for at least 12 weeks, at least three times a week, for 20-30 minutes per session. Direct communication with the therapist via the app is available for any queries. Follow-up questionnaires will be emailed at 6 and 12 weeks, after training, and again at 26 weeks to assess progress and feedback on the use of the app. Each session with the app lasts about 20 minutes and the questionnaire takes about 30 minutes to complete.
