Study Summary

This trial will compare the outcomes of two groups of people undergoing physical therapy after anterior hip replacement surgery - one group will go to a physical therapy office, while the other will do exercises at home. The goal is to see if formal physical therapy is necessary.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-80 who are having their first hip replacement surgery through the front of the hip due to arthritis. They should be able to walk and give consent, with no past major hip surgeries, neurological disorders like dementia or Parkinson's, recent severe heart or lung issues, or plans to go to a rehab center after surgery.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two physical therapy approaches post-anterior hip replacement: 'Formal Physical Therapy' with professional guidance in a clinic versus 'Self-directed Physical Therapy' at home using everyday items and provided exercises.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not drug-related, side effects may include discomfort from exercise, potential muscle strain or injury from improper technique in self-directed therapy, and general risks associated with any physical rehabilitation.
