Summary
Objective: The pilot study objective was to evaluate the effect of comprehensive post-operative physiotherapeutic treatment on the selected physiotherapeutic parameters after a total hip arthroplasty.
Patients and methods: Forty patients after total hip arthroplasty were enrolled into the pilot study. The patients underwent comprehensive physiotherapeutic treatment to increase muscle strength, range of motion, to reduce post-operative swelling of thighs. Prior to the physiotherapeutic intervention, we carried out the following physiotherapeutic examination for each patient - muscle test, trigonometric examination, measuring the circumference of the lower limbs. To compare the figures, we used statistical tests which were evaluated on the significance level α (p)=0.05.
Results: After completing the physiotherapeutic processes, we have observed among the patients who underwent a total hip replacement surgery, a significant increase in muscle strength as with the flexors as well as the abductors (p = 0.001), improvement in their range of motion in hip joint flexion and abduction in comparison to its range before treatment (p=0.001) and post-operative swelling (p <0.001), respectively.
Conclusion: Early post-operative physiotherapy treatment positively affects patients’ general condition. In addition, it improves muscle strength, range of motion of the operated joint, reduces post-operative swelling.
