| Popis: | A simple, self-rating questionnaire was developed to assess the clinical outcome related to pain and function after total hip replacement surgery followed by physical therapy. Twentytwo patients, 57 to 86 years of age, with osteoarthritis of the hip who underwent total hip replacement surgery and received physical therapy following surgery, participated in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 11 items was developed to ascertain the level of pain, functional ability and the assistive ambulatory device used to perform selected activities of daily living. A maximum cumulative score of 55 points was possible. The functional categories monitored included: sitting, standing, sleeping, functional walking, distance walking, stair climbing, sitting/ standing from a toilet seat, driving, and sexual activities. The questionnaires were completed preoperatively, and postoperatively at 3 and 6 months. The results showed an overall improvement of 56% at 3 months and 64% at 6 months after surgery. Twenty of 22 patients obtained "excellent" results with total hip replacement surgery and follow-up physical therapy. Results of this study indicated that total hip replacement followed by physical therapy decreases joint pain and improves function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. |
