Electromyographic Biofeedback-Assisted Exercise After Total Hip Arthroplasty .
Effects of Electromyographic Biofeedback-Assisted Exercise on Functional Recovery and Quality of Life in Patients after Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Clin Med . 2022 Jun 2;11(11):3182.90 patients with total hip arthroplasty were randomized to receive either electromyographic biofeedback-assisted exercise (n=45) or conventional physiotherapy (n=45). Outcomes of interest were functional recovery, measured by the 30-second chair stand test (CST) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, pain intensity (NRS), quality of life (HOOS and SF-36), and use of a walking aid. Outcomes were assessed over a 21-day period. Overall, the results of the study revealed no significant differences between the two groups in terms of functional recovery, pain intensity, or quality of life improvements. The addition of electromyographic biofeedback did not provide additional benefits over conventional physiotherapy alone.
