About

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitation versus no physical therapy after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in improving patient-reported outcomes and functional recovery. THR is a common surgical procedure to relieve pain and improve function in patients with a variety of hip conditions. Traditional physical therapy is a standard component of the post-operative care pathway for PTH patients, but can be hampered by logistical obstacles. Tele-rehabilitation is emerging as a promising alternative, offering the potential to overcome these barriers and improve access to care. The study uses a prospective monocentric design with two arms and a follow-up time of 6 months. The primary objective is assessed using the Timed up and go Test (TUG), while secondary objectives include patient-reported outcome measures, patient satisfaction, healthcare utilization, and return to physical activity.
