New exercise program aims to boost recovery after second hip replacement
NCT ID NCT05657054
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 16-week hip strengthening exercise program, done mostly at home with some physiotherapist guidance, can improve physical function and reduce pain in people undergoing a second hip replacement. About 84 participants will be randomly assigned to either the exercise program or standard community rehabilitation. The main goal is to see if the exercise group performs better on a sit-to-stand test after 16 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise intervention targeting hip strengthening
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better rehabilitation program for people undergoing revision hip replacement, improving their physical function and reducing pain.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 84 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercise program may be no better than standard rehab, and some patients may find it difficult to complete.
