Summary

This study will look to determine two different types of physical therapy regimens in patients who undergo anterior total hip replacement. We will compare the results of two groups. The first group, the "Formal Physical Therapy" group, will undergo standard physical therapy following their surgery. They will see a physical therapist in a physical therapy office after their surgery. Here, the therapist will work with the patient to strengthen muscles and improve their walking. The second group, the "Self-directed Physical Therapy" group, will undergo physical therapy in the comfort of their own home using common household items (chairs, steps, etc). These patients will be given a list of exercises and stretches to perform on their own. It is our goal to prove that formal physical therapy is not needed after anterior hip replacements.
