What rehabilitation is involved after an anterior hip replacement?

Gait training: The goal is to increase strength in the affected leg and improve range of motion. Therapy usually lasts 4-6 weeks and there are usually no restrictions.

REhab: Typically after any hip replacement, the first goal is to get you back on your feet again. You can work with a physical therapist who will teach you the anterior hip precautions then begin to work with you on getting in and out of bed, standing with a walker and beginning to walk with a walker. Following that phase, you will begin to work on strengthening the hip muscles usually as an outpatient.
