Summary
This study tests whether gently rocking in a chair three times a day for 30 minutes helps people aged 65 and older recover after hip replacement surgery. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either rock or sit still in a chair. Researchers will measure how many people complete the study and how acceptable the rocking feels, along with exploring effects on pain, nausea, anxiety, and walking.
