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.

  • Total Hip Replacement

Interventions

DEVICE

Akina Cloud

Akina Cloud is a digital health application that supports the therapeutic training of people with musculoskeletal conditions. It provides two therapeutic training programs for patients, one for each specific indication. Patients have continuous access to these programs through Akina Cloud, allowing them to independently complete nine training sessions without supervision. A minimum of three sessions per week is recommended, but patients have the option to engage in daily sessions if preferred. These therapy programs are based on current treatment guidelines and supported by relevant scientific research. They include customizable physical exercises tailored to individual needs and difficulty levels. Patients receive audio-visual guidance during these exercise sessions to ensure proper execution. Exercise therapy has demonstrated its ability to reduce pain, improve physical function, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients suffering from back pain and hip osteoarthritis.
