Thigh Swelling, Hip-muscle Strength, and Functional Performance Following Total Hip Arthroplasty

Thigh Swelling, Hip-muscle Strength, and Functional Performance Following Total Hip Arthroplasty Monitored Pre-operatively, on the Day of Discharge, and One Week Post-surgery

By this study the investigators wish to (1) quantify hip strength and functional-performance deficits at discharge after fast-track total hip arthroplasty (THA), and (2) investigate if changes in thigh circumferences, or hip pain are correlated to changes in hip strength and functional-performance after fast-track THA.

The investigators intend to use the results to optimize the rehabilitation programs for THA patients shortly after surgery

Inclusion Criteria:

• Total hip arthroplasty patients

Exclusion Criteria:

• inability to speak and understand Danish
• inability to perform the functional measurements due to other conditions
