Brief Summary

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

Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a common condition among young children that could range in severity. in most sever cases, surgical intervention is the best choice to correct the hip abnormality with the aim of restoring optimal functional ability. Referring patient for physiotherapy treatment post operative is not a common practice and surgeons relay on children natural developmental milestone in their recovery. however, prescribed physiotherapy treatment could promote maximum functional recovery and wellness. the aim of this research is (1) to evaluate the functional deference between patients who had conventional physiotherapy treatment program and patients who had home program prescribed by the orthopedic surgeon (2) to investigate what might be the underlying risk factors that could enhance or prohibit satisfactory functional level post operatively.

all individuals diagnosed with DDH and operated by Dr. Saleh Alsaifi (an orthopedic surgeon at alrazi orthopedic hospital) will be invited to participate in this study. The study will look at the children development in fictional ability postoperatively. not being referred to physiotherapy is a common practice, so the patients in the intervention group will benefit from having regular physiotherapy treatment with no risk at all. the study run from Alrazi orthopedic hospital in kuwait. the research is a collaboration between an orthopedic surgeon (Dr. Saleh Alsaifi) and physiotherapy team and it is expected to recruit all of the eligible patients through 12 months period (approximately 50 patients) then, the data will be sorted for analysis and reporting. the study is not funded with no personal interest.

Detailed Description

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

The population of the study: individuals diagnosed with DDH and operated by the orthopedic surgeon. Surgical procedures will include: open reduction, pelvic osteotomy (DEGA osteotomy) with/without femoral shortening. Individuals with operated DDH will be divided into two groups as conventional physiotherapy group and home program group. It will be ensured that the distribution of the individuals in the groups in a randomized manner, with the disease grades and operative procedures of the two treatment groups being the same and the clinical characteristics are similar.

The study will consist of children aged 1.5-5 who's guardian voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. It is planned to involve up to 50 children. Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria and had their guardian agreed to volunteer will be included in the study by signing the Informed Voluntary Consent Form. The participants will be examined by the responsible examiner in physiotherapy clinic (blinded to the allocated group). Patients in the control group will be given a home program by the orthopedic surgeon (common practice). Patients in the intervention group will be treated with conventional physiotherapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks (4 times evaluation and 18 times treatment).

As an outcome measure, the examiner will evaluate patient's hip function (using modified outcome evaluation standard for congenital dislocation of the hip by Zhou and Ji) and pediatric balance scale. patient will have a baseline data preoperatively. Then, patient will have the first postoperative evaluation10 weeks post-operatively (time of the removal of spica cast). After the first post-operative evaluation, individuals will be treated 3 times a week for 3 weeks and then the first evaluations will be done again then the same process will be repeated. Thus, Patient will be evaluated four times by the same examiner (before the operation, after 10 weeks \[removal of spica cast\], after 3 weeks of treatment \[13 weeks postoperatively\] and after 6 weeks of treatment \[16 weeks postoperatively\]). The data obtained before and after treatment and the data between the two groups will be compared.

Primary outcome measure modified outcome evaluation standard for congenital dislocation of the hip by Zhou will be used to evaluate child's functional level and Ji and pediatric balance scale will be used to evaluate child's balance. both outcome measures will be through physical examination of hip joint range of motion and some physical examination. the tests will be obtained 4 times (preoperative, postoperative base line (after the removal of the spica cast), 3 weeks post operative, 6 weeks postoperative)

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Individuals who meet the inclusion criteria and had their guardian agreed to volunteer will be included in the study by signing the Informed Voluntary Consent Form and will be randomly allocated into either control group or treatment group. Patients in the control group will be given a home program by the orthopedic surgeon (common practice). Patients in the intervention (treatment) group will be treated with conventional physiotherapy 3 times a week for 6 weeks (4 times evaluation and 18 times treatment). all participants will be examined by the responsible examiner in physiotherapy clinic (blinded to the allocated group) at four main points: preoperative, postoperative (after the removal of spica cast), 3 weeks postoperative, 6 weeks postoperative.
