Hip arthroplasty, or total hip replacement, is a surgery performed to replace a damaged hip joint by a prosthesis. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in recovery, helping the patient restore hip mobility, strength, and function while preventing complications. Physical Therapy Goals: - Recover Mobility: Promote the safe and effective movement of the hip joint, improving the range of motion. - Muscle Strengthening: Strengthen the muscles around the hip, especially the glutes, quadriceps and ischiotibial muscles, to support the new joint. - Prevent Complications: Reduce the risk of complications, such as deep venous thrombosis (TVP) and hip lengthening, through exercise and postural guidance. - Improving Balance and Coordination: Work in gait and balance to ensure the patient regains the ability to walk independently. Physiotherapy Treatment: - First Days: Early mobilization, with exercises of passive and active range of motion, as well as light strengthening exercises. - Following Weeks: Progression for more intense strengthening exercises, walking training with the assistance of walkers or crutches, and stretching techniques. - Medium to Long Term: Focus on complete restoration of function, with balance exercises, proprioception, and training for daily life activities. Physiotherapy is essential post-operative hip arthroplasty, speeding up recovery, restoring function, and allowing patients to return to their daily activities safely and efficiently. #artroplastiadequadril #fisio #protesedequadril #fr♿️
