In vivo loading on the hip joint in patients with total hip replacement performing gymnastics and aerobics exercises

Abstract A further increase in the number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is predicted, in particular the number of young THA patients has raised and with it their demands. There is no standardized evidence-based rehabilitation program and no reliable guidelines for sports activities after THA. Stre...
