Insole-based Visual Biofeedback for Weight-bearing in Total Hip Replacement

NCT04268082 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2020-02-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study investigates the effects of visual biofeedback, based on a sensorized system for the dynamic evaluation of the plantar pressure versus rehabilitation with traditional verbal instructions of the physiotherapist, on weight bearing distribution in patients who underwent first total hip replacement. The study is a randomized controlled trial, with parallel groups, without blinding.

Conditions

  • Total Hip Replacement
  • Visual Biofeedback
  • Weight Bearing

Interventions

DEVICE

Visual biofeedback with the use of sensorized insoles

Between the 4th and the 10th day post surgery, both groups performed the same rehabilitation protocol. The experimental group was re-educated to the correct gait dynamics by wearing the sensorized insoles and by using a specific software's graphical interface as a visual biofeedback.

OTHER

Standard rehabilitation based on physiotherapist's verbal instructions

Between the 4th and the 10th day post surgery, both groups performed the same rehabilitation protocol.The Control group did not wear the insoles, but it carried out the rehabilitation programme under the physiotherapist supervision and with his verbal feedbacks.
