Exercise may be effective for delaying total hip replacement in hip OA patients .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Exercise therapy may postpone total hip replacement surgery in patients with hip osteoarthritis: a long-term follow-up of a randomised trial
Ann Rheum Dis. 2015 Jan;74(1):164-9.109 patients were investigated in this study to compare combined exercise therapy and patient education with patient education alone. The main outcome measure was survival of the original hip as opposed to total hip replacement (THR) in patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA). Other outcome measures included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). Results indicated that patients who received exercise therapy in addition to patient education were less likely to require total hip replacement, or required it at a later time than patients receiving solely education intervention. Furthermore, greater hip function was observed in the exercise therapy group.
