Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Postoperative rehabilitation is required for a successful outcome following total hip arthroplasty. Traditionally rehabilitative programs aim to increase range of motion, to strengthen quadriceps, to restore normal gait, and to recover independence in activities of daily living. In the last decade action observation treatment, in addition to conventional physiotherapy has been proposed as a treatment method in rehabilitative medicine. There is growing evidence of the applicability of action observation training in rehabilitative medicine, indeed it has been applied in the rehabilitation of stroke of Parkinson disease of cerebral palsy and of aphasia.

Nevertheless those are small studies and one of them included a mixed population of hip and knee arthroplasty.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change of Pain intensity [Baseline and immediately post-intervention]

    Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  2. Change of Range Of Motion (ROM) [Baseline and immediately post-intervention]

    Active and passive range of motion of hip

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Barthel index [Baseline and immediately post-intervention]

    Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living

  2. Short Form-36 motor [Baseline and immediately post-intervention]

    The Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a widely used method to evaluate health-related quality of life

  3. Tinetti scale [Baseline and immediately post-intervention]

    Balance

  4. Lequesne index [Baseline and immediately post-intervention]

    The Lequesne Index is a 10-question survey given to patients with osteoarthritis of the knee
