ABSTRACT
Introduction: The hip is a true ball-and-socket joint surrounded by powerful and well-balanced muscles, enabling a wide range of motion in several physical planes while also exhibiting remarkable stability. The vascular supply to the femoral head has been well studied due to the risk of vascular necrosis of the head when it is disrupted, particularly in fractures of the femoral neck or dislocation of the hip. Total hip arthroplasty (THR) is the surgical procedure of choice, because this treatment improves the patient’s quality of life and facilitates the patient’s return to activities of daily living (ADLs) and even to labor activities.
Methodology: Total 5 patients with Total Hip Arthroplasty were taken. Patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria were included in the Study. Informed and written Consent were taken. Physiotherapy treatment was given in form of ROM Exercise and Strengthening Exercise Twice a day for 5 days.
Outcome Measures: Goniometer for ROM and MMT for Strength.
Result: Pre and post intervention data was recorded with Goniometer and MMT. Significance was assessed at 5% level of significance. Significance improvement in ROM and Muscle strength of Hip, Knee and Ankle was noted.
Conclusion: Study shows significance effect of following Physiotherapy on Strength and ROM in patients with Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Key words: Total Hip Arthroplasty, THA, Post-op. Physiotherapy.
