Similar functional recovery after THA between formal outpatient PT and home-based exercise therapy .
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.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2017;5(19):4 J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2017 Apr 19;99(8):648-655120 patients scheduled for primary, unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) were randomized to formal outpatient physical therapy or to a home-based exercise therapy program postoperatively for rehabilitation. Patients were assessed at 1-month follow-up and at 6-12 month follow-up for results on the Harris Hip Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Short Form 36-Item General Health Survey. The results demonstrated no significant differences between groups for improvement from baseline in any outcome measure after 1 month or 6-12 months.
