Fascial Manipulation in Patients With Hip Osteoarthritis (manifahip)

November 18, 2015 updated by: Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli

Evaluation of the Efficacy of Treatment of the Soft Tissues With Fascial Manipulation for Patients That Are Waiting for Total Hip Arthroplasty in Osteoarthritis

The study will test the efficacy of the treatment of soft tissues for osteoarthritis patients that are waiting for total hip arthroplasty. The fascial manipulation provides a deep pressure of specific points of the muscle fascia. The aims of this treatment are the improve of pain before the surgery and the improve of functional performance after the surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: fascial manipolation and standard

Recruited patients in study's group will be treated with the standard treatment and fascial manipulation.

Specific points of fascial tissue will be treated with a deep friction to improve elasticity.

The number of point treated will be refered to a specific evaluation for each patient.

Fascial manipulation provide 3 session treatment (one treatment for week).

Before surgery, standard physiotherapy treatment provides an education session about the rehabilitation program tha is going to be execute after surgery.

After surgery 2 daily physiotherapy treatment are implemented: bed exercise as active and passive flex-extension of lower limb, movements for postural change to reach sitting and standing position, walking training.
