Effects of physiotherapy exercise on function & QoL following hospital discharge from THR .
Effectiveness of land-based physiotherapy exercise following hospital discharge following hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis: an updated systematic review
Physiotherapy. 2015 Sep;101(3):252-65.11 prospective, comparative studies (576 patients) which examined the effect of physiotherapy after hospital discharge on patients who had received a total hip arthroplasty were included in this systematic review. The purpose of the review was to analyse data that compared quality of life, muscle strength, function, walking ability and range of joint motion between groups who received physiotherapy and groups who did not in order to determine if there were benefits associated with this treatment. Results of the analysis displayed conflicting evidence for the measured outcomes, and thus the effect of physiotherapy exercise for post-op THR therapy remains unclear due to inconclusive findings.
