Scientific titleEvaluation of a specific physiotherapy programme following resurfacing arthroplasty - is it more effective at improving function and muscle strength than standard rehabilitation?
Study acronymRehab after RHA
Study objectivesTo evaluate the effectiveness of a post-operative physiotherapy programme specifically designed to the needs of patients with hip resurfacing arthroplasty (RHA) compared to standard protocols based upon total hip arthroplasty (THA) rehabilitation guidelines.

Hypothesis:
A specific rehabilitation programme following hip resurfacing arthroplasty (RHA) will improve functional outcome assessed at one year post surgery.

Design:
Single blind prospective randomised clinical trial.
Ethics approval(s)Oxfordshire Research Ethics Committee (REC) B approved in August 2006 with an amendment in April 2008 (ref: PB-PG-0407-13216)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Musculoskeletal; Subtopic: Musculoskeletal (all Subtopics); Disease: Musculoskeletal
InterventionA specific rehabilitation programme focussing on range of hip flexion, hip extension strength and single stance higher-demand activities. The content of the rehabilitation programme has been developed following appraisal of the existing literature, focus groups with arthroplasty practitioners and by involvement of a group of patients/service users.

Data will be analysed on an intention to treat basis.

Follow up length: 12 months
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureOxford Hip Score at 6 and 12 months
Secondary outcome measuresMesaured at 6 weeks, 4 months, 12 months:
1. Timed sit-to-stand
2. Timed Single leg stand
3. Maximal isometric torque strength for flexion
