Benefits of Combining Physical Therapy with Occupational Therapy in Hip Arthroplasty

(1) Background: Hip arthroplasty (HA) is a surgery that replaces the damaged hip joint with an artificial implant called a hip prosthesis. The increase in life expectancy correlated with the population aging level, to which the increase in the number of prosthetic interventions among the young popul...
