Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A group of orthopedic physiotherapists have developed a late phase program to educate and instruct total hip replacement patients in progressive exercises appropriate for their level of recovery. The components of this program include an educational presentation, individual assessment and exercise prescription. The investigators' intent is to pilot the program using a sample of patients. The objective of this pilot project:

To examine the effects of the late phase education session and home-based exercise program in restoring hip muscle strength, gait and function
