To compare the functional changes following institutional and home-based rehabilitation programs following uncomplicated unilateral total hip replacement. A randomized controlled trial. A tertiary care teaching hospital. Persons with age 20 to 65 years, who underwent unilateral total hip replacement surgery. The persons were randomized into the two groups. The persons allocated in Group A received institutional (in-patient) based rehabilitation program for four weeks. The persons in Group B received home-based rehabilitation program for 4-weeks. Persons were assessed with Harris' Hip Score (function), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of Pain and with Timed Up and Go (TUG) score. All persons were followed up till 3-months. For all the statistical tests used, the significance level was set at a p-value≤ 0.05, CI-95%. Both groups were comparable in terms clinical and demographical parameters. Both groups improved significantly in terms of function and reduction of pain. In inter-group comparisons, no significant differences were seen over time- Harris Hip Score (p = 0.707), VAS (p = 0.784), TUG score (p = 0.316). Both groups had comparable improvements in functional efficacy over time. The results suggest that both interventions are equally effective in rehabilitating patients after total hip replacement.
