Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of usual care and additional proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercise program in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty surgery. It is aimed to evaluate pain intensity, disability level, proprioception, kinesiophobia, balance and functional status of the patients. The study will be conducted with volunteer patients who are followed up by the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of Fethiye State Hospital and who have undergone total hip arthroplasty surgery. The evaluations will be performed in the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of Fethiye State Hospital. It is aimed to evaluate at least 42 patients for the study. The first evaluation will be performed 6 weeks post-operatively and the second evaluation will be performed 2 months after treatment.

Treatments
Experimental: Intervention Group
In addition to the program given to the control group, the study group will be given proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercise as previously described (Smedes et. al., 2021). These applications will be applied to the patients for 8 weeks, 2 days a week in the clinical environment after the initial evaluation. In addition, both groups will be told that they can contact the researcher when requested.
