Investigating the effect of remote rehabilitation training on the outcomes of hip osteoarthritis in patients after surgery

Determining the effect of remote rehabilitation training on the outcomes of hip osteoarthritis in Patients Referred to Firoozgar hospital

A clinical trial with a control group, parallel, not blinded, randomized, phase 2 on 76 patients. The samples will be allocated into two intervention and control groups by the Block randomization method. by Using non-transparent envelopes sealed with random sequences that the lids of the letter envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. Finally, one of the envelopes is opened and the assigned group of that participant is revealed.

Patients referred to the orthopedic clinic of Firoozgar Hospital in Tehran were randomly selected in two groups. The control group received routine training. But the intervention group will receive a weekly educational intervention of a 30-45 minute session through Skype software.

Inclusion criteria: Being between the ages of 18 and 75 years, no more than 6 months have passed since the replacement of the hip joint, having access to the Internet and a smartphone and the Skype program Conditions for not entering the study: Exclusion criteria: The presence of mental illnesses and the use of psychotropic drugs, the presence of accompanying orthopedic lesions such as fractures, severe speech disorder

Intervention group: in this educational intervention group by the researcher, one session per week for 30 to 45 minutes in groups of 4 to 6 people, including definition of osteoarthritis and introduction of hip disease, risk factors, symptoms of the disease, management of the symptoms of the disease , medication, diet, appropriate exercises and pain relief methods will be provided through Skype software. Control group: only routine training will be done .

Osteoarthritis Outcome

The sampling method will initially be available; The samples will then be placed in quadruple blocks by block random sampling. The blockage is usually used to balance the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups. This feature helps researchers to equalize the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups in cases where intermediate analyzes are required during the sampling process. All blocks are the same size, and in this two-group experiment, we will have 4 blocks (including 2 participants in the intervention group and 3 participants in the control group). Random allocation software is also used to randomize random sequence production software (Random allocation software). To conceal, we use Allocation concealment, which refers to the method used to perform a random sequence on study participants, so that the assigned group is not identified before the individual is assigned. Using non-transparent envelopes sealed with random sequences (Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes). They are placed in order. In order to maintain the random sequence, numbering is done on the outer surface of the envelopes in the same way. Finally, the lids of the letter envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. At the beginning of the registration of participants, based on the order of entry of eligible participants in the study, one of the envelopes of the letter will be opened in order and the assigned group of the participant will be revealed.
