Summary
This study tested whether a personalized, supervised home exercise program helps people recover better after total hip replacement compared to just receiving an exercise brochure. 44 people who had hip replacement surgery were split into two groups: one got a tailored exercise plan with check-ins every two weeks, the other got a standard brochure. Researchers measured pain, balance, muscle strength, and function before surgery, 2 weeks after, and 12 weeks after.
