Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which group exercise one should choose when hip osteoarthritis patients have undergone hip replacement surgery. To determine this, we want to answer the following research question:

Are there differences in function and muscle strength in osteoarthritis patients who conduct group training either on land or in water in the rehabilitation phase following hip replacement surgery?

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Hip osteoarthritis patients who undergo surgery with total prosthesis at St. Olav's Hospital, Department Orkdal.

• Participants must live in commuting distance from the hospital, as the training is organized as outpatient training

• Participants must be able to take instruction and master the Norwegian language

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who experience serious complications after surgery

• if a person has a disease that causes that one can not complete the planned training

Intervention

Other:
• Group training
Each session lasts 50 minutes and consists of warm-up, mobility training, strength training, balance training and endurance training. Mobility training is conducted to increase range of motion in the operated hip, strength exercises are conducted to strengthen muscles around the operated hip, balance training are conducted to improve stability around the operated hip and endurance training are conducted to increase patients' physical capacity. This is in line with current guidelines for the exercise of osteoarthritis patients.
