Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which group exercise one should choose when hip osteoarthritis patients have undergone hip replacement surgery. To determine this, we want to answer the following research question: Are there differences in function and muscle strength in osteoarthritis patients who conduct group training either on land or in water in the rehabilitation phase following hip replacement surgery?

Interventions

OTHERGroup training

Each session lasts 50 minutes and consists of warm-up, mobility training, strength training, balance training and endurance training. Mobility training is conducted to increase range of motion in the operated hip, strength exercises are conducted to strengthen muscles around the operated hip, balance training are conducted to improve stability around the operated hip and endurance training are conducted to increase patients' physical capacity. This is in line with current guidelines for the exercise of osteoarthritis patients.

Healthy volunteers

Inclusion criteria

* Hip osteoarthritis patients who undergo surgery with total prosthesis at St. Olav's Hospital, Department Orkdal. * Participants must live in commuting distance from the hospital, as the training is organized as outpatient training * Participants must be able to take instruction and master the Norwegian language

Exclusion criteria

* Patients who experience serious complications after surgery * if a person has a disease that causes that one can not complete the planned training

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Function1	Pre-operative	Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
Function2	Post-operative	Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).
Funtion3	After 12 weeks training	Function is evaluated using a questionnaire, Harris Hip Score (HHS) and by using 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Muscle strength1	Pre-operative	Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.
Muscle strength2	Post-operative	Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.
Muscle strength3	After 12 weeks training	Muscle strength around the operated hip are evaluated by measuring isometric muscle strength in hip-abduction and knee-extension using a hand-held dynamometer (HHD) from Lafayette Instruments.
