This bachelor thesis is aimed at the complex total hip joint replacement problematics and its possibilities in physiotherapeutic positive influence. The theoretical part of this thesis describes the anatomy and kinesiology of the hip joint, implantation of the total hip joint replacement and subsequent rehabilitation.

The research included half-structured interview, input and output kinesilogical analysis and the collected data analysis. Each representative underwent 10 therapies, which were composed of my own excercise unit and physiotherapeutic procedures. The data analysis collected over those 10 therapies has shown that excercise unit of mine with the chosen physiotherapeutic procedures has improven those patients overall physical condition, has lower their lower limb swelling and its pain, has enhanced their joint scope, its active mobility and muscle strenght.
