The majority of adults > 55 years of age show radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis; however, determining definitive prevalence and incidence rates hip osteoarthritis poses methodological problems. Several factors play a role in osteoarthritis risk, including age, gender, genetics, behavioral influences, and ethnicity (D'Ambrosia, 2005).
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of physiotherapy in patients after total hip replacement, and to study the population’s characteristics.
The study included a group of 60 patients from KMUK after total hip replacement. The effect of physiotherapy was performed using Barthel’s index, Keithel’s index and Pain Visual Analog Scale (PVAS). We evaluate these indexes at three times – before operation, first day after operation and at 5 – 7 day after operation.
Exploration shows that more patients were women 68,3 proc., and men - 31,7 proc.. The average age of them was 66,42 ± 1,25 years, age of women was 68,85 ± 1,37 years and age of men - 61,16 ± 2,3 years.
The mean of Keithel‘s index before operation was 29 ± 0,56 points, at first day after operation this index decreased 11,5 ± 0,5 points and after 5 – 7 days increased 22,58 ± 0,44 points (p<0,05).
The mean of Barthel’s index before operation was 80,58 ± 0,65 points, at first day after operation this index decreased 34,25 ± 0,71 points and after 5 – 7 days increased 71,25 ± 1,22 points (p<0,05).
Level of the pain was: before operation 7,48 ± 0,2 points, at first day after... [to full text]
