Effects of different physiotherapy programs on leg function after hip replacement surgery

The Object: effects of physiotherapy programs. Aim of study: To determine effects of different physiotherapy programs for leg functions, pain, swelling and improve independence after hip replacement surgery. Hypothesis: We believe that physiotherapy in the water for patients after hip replacement surgery, more improve leg functions, independence, reduce pain and swelling than the physiotherapy in the room. Goals of study: 1. To determine and compare hip amplitude of the movements after hip replacement surgery, before, after 15 and 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room. 2. To determine and compare thigh circumferences and pain after hip replacement surgery, before, after 15 and 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room. 3. To assess movement mobility and independence after hip replacement surgery, before, after 15 and 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room. 4. To determine and compare thigh muscle strenght after hip replacement surgery after 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room. Conclusions: 1. Thigh flexion and extension amplitude had tendency to increase after 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room, and thigh retraction amplitude increased statistically significant after 30 days physiotherapy in the water. 2. Thigh circumferences and pain had tendency to decrease after 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room. 3. 15 days of physiotherapy in the room increased statistically significant of patients independence and movement mobility had tendency to increase after 30 days of physiotherapy in the water and in the room. 4. 30 days of physiotherapy in the water increased statistically significant all thigh muscles strength
