About

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if telerehabilitation in patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does telerehabilitation improve the functional level of the participants?
Does telerehabilitation improve the locomotor performance of the participants? Researchers will compare telerehabilitation to face to face rehabilitation (traditional rehabilitation programme) to see if telerehabilitation works in total hip arthroplasty recovery.

Participants will:

Attend physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions supervised by a physiotherapist 2 days a week for 8 weeks.
Participate in assessments (before surgery and at 6 weeks and 12 weeks after surgery).
