This study aims to investigate the effects of an early postoperative rehabilitation program combined with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and telerehabilitation on functional recovery in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
In the early postoperative period, patients commonly experience muscle weakness, impaired gait, and functional limitations that may delay recovery. Early rehabilitation has been shown to improve functional outcomes, while NMES may enhance muscle activation, particularly in hip abductor muscles. Additionally, telerehabilitation may support continuity of care following discharge by enabling supervised home-based exercise.
In this prospective study, participants will be assigned to either an intervention group receiving early physiotherapy combined with NMES and telerehabilitation, or a control group receiving standard postoperative care. Functional outcomes, gait parameters, quality of life, and muscle-related changes will be evaluated at predefined time points.
