Summary

This study tested whether using an anti-gravity treadmill (which reduces body weight during walking) helps people recover strength and mobility after total hip replacement. 34 adults with hip osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to either anti-gravity treadmill training or standard physiotherapy. The main goal was to see if the special treadmill improved hip muscle strength and walking ability.
