| Scientific title | Evaluation of a specific physiotherapy programme following resurfacing arthroplasty - is it more effective at improving function and muscle strength than standard rehabilitation? |
| Study acronym | Rehab after RHA |
| Study objectives | To 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) |
