Early Virtual Reality Based Home Rehabilitation Program After Total Hip Arthroplasty

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common interventions in orthopedic surgery. Rehabilitation is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of the surgery. Tele-rehabilitation programs after orthopedic surgery have proven their effectiveness, validity and cost-efficacy. It seems of interest to test the potential advantages of early virtual reality based rehabilitation programs after total hip arthroplasty compared to standard care. The aim of the study is to evaluate the functional recovery following total hip arthroplasty and home telerehabilitation programs with a virtual reality based system.
