Summary

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgical procedure among Veterans. It is most often used to treat hip osteoarthritis, which is more common among Veterans than the general population. Some patients continue to experience functional limitations after THA, and studies have shown that these patients still tend to put greater loads on the opposite leg, which can increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis in that leg. One likely reason for these post-surgical limitations is that rehabilitation is very minimal following this procedure. This project will involve development and preliminary testing of a functional movement retraining program, designed to help Veterans improve their function and biomechanics after THA. The project will also develop processes for delivering this program in Veterans' homes, to increase accessibility.

Conditions

  • Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Functional Movement Retraining

15-week rehabilitation / exercise intervention, including visits at the Durham VA medical center, in-home with clinical personnel, and via telephone. The intervention is tailored to participants' post-operative functional status, particularly unilateral balance asymmetries. The exercise program will focus on three areas: lower extremity mobility (ankle, knee and hip), muscle stability (quadriceps and gluteal muscle strength) and functional movement patterns (lower extremity focus). Participants will be instructed to perform their prescribed stretching exercises daily and strengthening exercises three times per week (on non-consecutive days).
