Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week digital exercise program, with or without personal coaching, can help adults aged 65 and older become more physically active after total hip replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: the digital program with coaching, the digital program alone, or usual care. Physical activity will be measured using a body-worn sensor before surgery, 6 weeks after, and 6 months after.
