Summary: This study compared the efficacy of early rehabilitation via the Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) with traditional rehabilitation in improving functional outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The results showed that virtual-reality-based home rehabilitation and traditional rehabilitation had similar improvements in functional outcomes, but virtual-reality-based rehabilitation had a better overall perceived effect.

Summary: The study investigated whether gait training on crutches conducted by a mobile robot in a clinical setting could benefit patients following total hip arthroplasty. Results showed that patients in the intervention group had significantly higher walking speeds, indicating potential for shorter hospital stays. Further research with a larger sample size is needed to validate these findings.

Summary: The meta-analysis showed that progressive resistance exercise (PRE) may improve physical function in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), especially by increasing knee strength post-surgery. Moreover, performing PRE is safe for patients undergoing TKA.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the perceived levels of participation and autonomy in senior patients who had received total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Hangzhou, China, and to identify the factors linked to these outcomes. It utilized a cross-sectional study design to evaluate perceived participation and autonomy among older adults who underwent THA or TKA surgeries, and the research was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou.

Summary: The study found that most postoperative patients had regular local orthopedic follow-up, but about 10% of patients indicated the lack of such follow-up at the local level, and some patients reported sporadic follow-up. Approximately half of patients reported various levels of pain, only about a quarter of patients were able to walk independently within their residential district, and nearly half of patients reported being able to walk unassisted.

Summary: This study investigated differences in gait function and musculoskeletal loads during walking between hip dysplasia patients who received hip abductor strengthening after total hip replacement and those who only performed standard rehabilitation. The results showed that patients who underwent muscle strengthening exhibited a more physiological force pattern and greater force in the operated limb, although this was statistically significant only in certain portions of the gait cycle and potentially related to higher gait speed. Further studies on hip dysplasia patients would be beneficial in understanding the effects of muscle strengthening on loads.

Summary: The study evaluated the in vivo hip joint loads during exercises on four widely used gym machines and found that these exercises are generally considered as low-impact sports, suitable for safe physical activity after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Summary: The study investigated the effects of supervised home-based resistance training on CKD patients. The results showed that home-based resistance training improved functional performance, bone mineral density, uremic profile, inflammatory markers, glycemic homeostasis, and exerkines. It also decreased the occurrence of osteopenia.

Summary: This study explores the experience of people with mild dementia and their relatives in home-based MBT training. The results suggest that MBT is not a satisfactory replacement for group training. Some participants were able to use and enjoy MBT daily, while others faced challenges with technology, device placement, or motivation to independently complete the training program.

Summary: A formal unsupervised activity program is recommended for patients recovering from TKA and THA, with some patients potentially benefiting from unsupervised activity instead of supervised physical therapy. While supervised telerehabilitation has been proven effective for TKA, there may not be a need for hip precautions following elective primary THA.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the benefits and harms of rehabilitation interventions for patients who underwent elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery. The findings suggest that diverse rehabilitation programs may not differ in terms of harm risk or outcomes of pain, strength, activities of daily living, or quality of life. Further research is needed to identify the most effective attributes of rehabilitation programs for different outcomes.
