Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation on gait recovery in subjects after knee or hip arthroplasty. Assessment is performed the day after admission (T0) and the day of discharge (T1), in a post-acute rehabilitation hospital, through an optoelectronic system (BTS DX-400). Other functional scales are administered to the subjects. during the rehabilitation period, subjects received conventional physiotherapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Knee Arthroplasty Group

Subjects that received knee arthroplasty 2-3 days before admission to undergo a rehabilitation period in our rehabilitation hospital.

Conventional physiotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The subjects will receive rehabilitation according to the guidelines on the management of subjects after knee or hip arthroplasty, recovery of joint Range of Motion, recovery of lower limb strength, education to the crutches management, and stairs climbing and descending

Hip Arthroplasty Group

Subjects that received hip arthroplasty 2-3 days before admission to undergo a rehabilitation period in our rehabilitation hospital.

Conventional physiotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The subjects will receive rehabilitation according to the guidelines on the management of subjects after knee or hip arthroplasty, recovery of joint Range of Motion, recovery of lower limb strength, education to the crutches management, and stairs climbing and descending

Age-Matched healthy Group

Subjects age-matched with those included in the knee and hip group. Subjects are asked to walk at their self-selected speed and at low speed matchable with those of the knee and hip group

No interventions assigned to this group
