Can video calls replace clinic visits for hip replacement recovery?
NCT ID NCT06238960
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a mix of telerehabilitation (10 remote sessions) plus in-person physiotherapy against standard in-person rehab (16 sessions) for people who have had a total hip replacement. Researchers will measure pain, function, and patient satisfaction in 104 adults aged 50-80. The goal is to see if the remote option is just as good for recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telerehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that combining telerehabilitation with in-person physiotherapy is a convenient and effective option for recovery after hip replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 104 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Telerehabilitation may not suit all patients, especially those with limited tech skills.
