5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  In a randomized study of 90 patients after unilateral THA, visual feedback–based rehabilitation was added to conventional physiotherapy for 6 weeks.

• 2

  At 6 weeks, gait speed increased by 0.31 m/s with visual feedback and 0.21 m/s with conventional therapy, a between-group difference of 0.09 m/s.

• 3

  Gait symmetry and pelvic movement measures improved more with visual feedback than with conventional physiotherapy.

• 4

  Pain, functional independence, and ambulation capacity improved similarly in both groups, without significant between-group differences.

• 5

  The gait-speed difference was below the commonly reported 0.10- to 0.14-m/s minimal clinically important difference, and longer-term effects remain unknown.
