Brief Summary

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

This study aims to objectively evaluate the implications of physiotherapeutic rehabilitation in the Assistance Protocol of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), by assessing the motor performance and testing the quality of life of patients undergoing THA surgery, to improve rehabilitation strategies for this population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a surgical procedure which has been used for more than half a century in the treatment of hip joint diseases.

The Physiotherapy is an important component in the care of patients undergoing THA.

In order to reduce the length of hospitalization after THA, to promote functional independence and to monitor clinical events during hospitalization and up to the 30th postoperative day, the Hip Surgery Group (HSG) of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) has developed a global, multidisciplinary Assistance Protocol of the HSG with outpatient consultations and scheduled home visits for patients that have undergone THA at HCPA.

The team which developed the Assistance Protocol of the HSG consists of orthopedic doctors and anesthesiologists, nurses and social workers.

The insertion of the Physiotherapist in the THA Assistance Protocol is of great importance owing to the professional skills of that professional in the areas of prevention and rehabilitation, working with the multidisciplinary team in functional evaluation and in physical therapy of patients that underwent THA.

The monitoring of the physiotherapist is essential to establish a functional diagnosis, aiming pain relief, promoting the early functional rehabilitation, the reintegration of the patients in their daily activities and offering a better quality of life through reintegration into social life.

THA Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy care during the period of hospitalization after THA.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

THA Physiotherapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients will be randomized into two groups. The control group will receive care from the team of the THA Assistance Protocol already used by the HSG of HCPA without the intervention of physiotherapy. During hospitalization, the group of cases will be submitted to physical therapy associated with the intervention of the team of the THA Assistance Protocol.
