Tele-rehabilitation after total hip replacement

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This single-center randomized trial in Mérignac compares a structured tele-rehabilitation program to no formal physical therapy after total hip arthroplasty, with participants followed for six months. The primary outcome is the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and secondary outcomes include patient-reported measures, satisfaction, healthcare utilization, and return to physical activity. Eligible patients must be French-speaking adults with an email address, a smartphone, and social security coverage, while those with revision surgery or major neurological/psychiatric comorbidities are excluded. The design is prospective with two parallel arms and standardized follow-up assessments.
