If a person had a total hip replacement (anterolatera), then what are stable leg motions?

Stable: These are exactly what their name implies; motions that promote a stable leg; and this is important especially after hip/joint replacement as part of the rehabilitative process. Ask the orthopedist/physical therapist for more about this.

Abduction and neutra: Usually abduction, flexion and external rotation within a range. Best to ask the surgeon his/her parameters.

Flexion type: With an anterior-type approach, the safe motions are flexion of the hip with internal rotation. Avoid hip hyperextension combined with rotation of the foot outward.
