Total Hip Replacement and Early Progressive Resistance Training

1. This study shows that, in the year following total hip replacement surgery, a home-based PRT program is just as efficacious as standard rehabilitation for improving all of the following, except:

A. Quadriceps maximum voluntary contraction B. Sit to stand reps C. Six minute walk test D. Skeletal muscle mass in the operated leg

2. Relative to home-based PRT patients, the control group showed greater improvement at final follow up in which measure of physical function?

A. Stair climb performance B. Timed up and go test C. Sit to stand reps D. Quadriceps maximum voluntary contraction

3. All the measures assessed improved significantly over time for both treatment groups, except for:

A. Timed up and go test B. Six minute walk test C. Stair climb performance D. Lean mass of the operated leg

4. Participants of the home-based PRT intervention showed compliance rates on average of _____ than the recommended minimum.

A. 50% more B. 25% more C. 25% less D. 50% less

5. A previous study suggested that the lack of a significant benefit for a home-based, intensified, early postoperative regime may be due to the fact that not all post-operative THR patients can perform exercises effectively without supervision.

A. True B. False

6. Following 12 weeks of resistance training in patients immediately post-THR, the center-based rehabilitation intervention conducted in a previous study was able to restore objective functional parameters such as:

A. Timed up and go test B. Normal gait speed C. Stair climb performance D. Sit to stand reps

7. For the six minute walk test, the values obtained in this study after 9 - 12 months for the home-based PRT and control groups were equal to that for healthy community-dwelling matched adults without hip osteoarthritis.

A. True B. False

8. Study results suggest that center-based regimens are not able to produce any better function improvements compared to home-based regimens.

A. True B. False

9. This study showed a significant difference in the change from preoperative values at 12 months in favor of the control group in which of the secondary outcome measures?

A. Six minute walk test B. Timed up and go test C. Sit to stand reps D. Quadriceps maximum voluntary contraction

10. It was demonstrated that a home-based PRT program is not as effective as pre-existing standard rehabilitation regimes.

A. True B. False

11. The only home-based regimes in the literature that have improved functional outcome were performed between _____ after THR.

A. 6 and 12 months B. 6 and 18 months C. 6 months and 2 years D. 6 months and 4 years

12. Effective home-based interventions may require the provision of trained home exercise specialists, which may only be effective in the THR post-recovery phase of greater than:

A. 2 months B. 4 months C. 6 months D. 12 months
