Brief Summary

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

Despite the widespread use of hip and knee replacement surgery, there is a considerable lack of consensus regarding postoperative treatment and rehabilitation, mostly because of the lack of well-designed studies testing the efficacy and effectiveness of such practices.

In particular there are no recommendations regarding the use of ergometer cycling after hip or knee replacement surgery.

Therefore the investigators initiated a multicenter controlled clinical trial evaluating the effect of ergometer cycling versus no ergometer cycling after hip or knee replacement surgery.

Ergometer Cycling

Ergometer Cycling under the guidance of a physical therapist after the second postoperative week. These training sessions were scheduled to be performed three times a week for a time period of at least three weeks. The resistance of the ergometer was set to a minimum (for example 30 Watts). Physical therapists were informed to pay special attention, that the height of the saddle is set so that the forefoot reaches the pedal with the knee in extension.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

No ergometer cycling

Patients of the no ergometer cycling group did not receive any ergometer cycling after surgery

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
