New study tests High-Tech rehab to get hip replacement patients back on their feet faster
NCT ID NCT07550647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether starting physical therapy early after hip replacement, combined with electrical muscle stimulation and remote video coaching, helps people walk better and regain strength faster. About 52 adults aged 50-75 will be split into two groups: one gets the extra rehab program, the other gets standard care. The goal is to see if the new approach improves mobility and quality of life.
