Developmental phase



Assessment

Primary outcomes

Maximum hip extension angle of the operated side during gait is assessed under the following three conditions: (1) usual walking before forward-resistance walking, (2) forward-resistance walking using a body weight support walker, and (3) usual walking immediately after forward-resistance walking.

Key secondary outcomes

Gait speed and step length (assessed under the same three conditions as the primary outcome).
Rating of perceived exertion during forward-resistance walking using a body weight support walker (Modified Borg Scale; assessed immediately after forward-resistance walking).
Pain in the operated hip during gait (Numerical Rating Scale: NRS; assessed under the same three conditions as the primary outcome).
Passive hip extension range of motion of the operated side (assessed before gait measurement).

Interventions/Control_1

The intervention is conducted on a single day. Participants perform three 10-m trials of forward-resistance walking using a body weight support walker. The body weight support function of the walker is not used. The forward-resistance function can be switched on or off, but the amount of resistance cannot be adjusted. Before forward-resistance walking using the body weight support walker, participants perform three 10-m trials of usual walking, followed by another three 10-m trials of usual walking immediately after forward-resistance walking.

Key inclusion criteria

1.Patients hospitalized at Maki Hospital who are 1 to 6 weeks after unilateral total hip arthroplasty.
2.Individuals who have received a sufficient explanation of the study and provided written informed consent.
3.Individuals who are able to walk independently or with a cane.

Key exclusion criteria

1.Patients in the immediate postoperative period after total hip arthroplasty who are unable to walk safely.
2.Individuals who are unable to complete the walking distance required in this study due to pain.
3.Individuals with an orthopedic or neurological condition of the non-operated lower limb that clearly affects gait (e.g., previous joint replacement, osteoarthritis requiring surgery, previous proximal femoral fracture, hemiplegia due to stroke, or Parkinson's disease).
4.Individuals who have difficulty understanding the study or following instructions due to cognitive impairment or higher brain dysfunction.
5.Individuals who are judged to be unable to walk safely due to neurological disease, severe cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, or other conditions.
