Thigh Swelling, Hip-muscle Strength, and Functional Performance Following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA)

July 18, 2012 updated by: Bente Holm, Hvidovre University Hospital

Thigh Swelling, Hip-muscle Strength, and Functional Performance Following Total Hip Arthroplasty Monitored Pre-operatively, on the Day of Discharge, and One Week Post-surgery

By this study the investigators wish to (1) quantify hip strength and functional-performance deficits at discharge after fast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA), and (2) investigate if changes in thigh circumferences, or hip pain are correlated to changes in hip strength and functional-performance after fast-track THA.
