Summary

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgical procedure among Veterans. It is most often used to treat hip osteoarthritis, which is more common among Veterans than the general population. Some patients continue to experience functional limitations after THA, and studies have shown that these patients still tend to put greater loads on the opposite leg, which can increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis in that leg. One likely reason for these post-surgical limitations is that rehabilitation is very minimal following this procedure. This project will involve development and preliminary testing of a functional movement retraining program, designed to help Veterans improve their function and biomechanics after THA. The project will also develop processes for delivering this program in Veterans' homes, to increase accessibility.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Veteran, Scheduled for hip arthroplasty at Durham, NC VA Medical Center

Exclusion Criteria

  • Dementia or other significant cognitive impairment;
  • movement or motor neuron disorders (e.g., Parkinson's Disease, post-stroke neurological deficiencies);
  • rheumatoid arthritis,
  • fibromyalgia,
  • or other systemic rheumatic disease;
  • hospitalization for a stroke,
  • myocardial infarction,
  • heart failure,
  • or coronary artery revascularization in the past 3 months;
  • psychosis or current, uncontrolled substance abuse disorder;
  • any other health conditions determined by the study team to be contraindications to performing the exercise program (e.g., mild home exercises);
  • transportation or other limitations that would prevent visits to the Durham VAMC for the retraining program.
