Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of an exercise program with a cycle ergometer in functional outcome and related-health quality of life (RHQL) in elderly patients with total hip arthroplasty.
Detailed description
Behavioral: Ergometer Cycling Ergometer Cycling under the guidance of a physical therapist after the second postoperative week. These training sessions were scheduled to be performed two times a week for a time period of at least eith weeks. Behavioral: No ergometer cycling Patients of the no ergometer cycling group did not receive any ergometer cycling after surgery, only conventional exercises.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALErgometer cycling
Patients will participate of the exercises program with ergometer cycling and conventional exercises. The program will initiate after two weeks of the postoperative and will continue until three months of the postoperative
BEHAVIORALConventional exercises
Patients will participate only of the conventional exercises program. The program will initiate after two weeks of the postoperative and will continue until three months of the postoperative

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in hip function at three months | Baseline and three months | Harris Hip Score (HHS) will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in physical performance of lower limbs at three months. | Baseline and three months | Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) developed by Guralnik (1994), to evaluate of balance, gait speed and muscle strenght, of lower limbs will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months. |
| Change from baseline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL)at three months by generic questionnaire | Baseline and three months | The generic questionnaire evaluation HRQOL Medical Outcomes Survey 36 - Item Short-Form developed by Ware and Sherboune (1992) will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months |
| Change from baseline in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) at three months by specific questionnaire | Baseline and three months | The specific questionnaire evaluattion HRQOL Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) developed by Bellamy (1988) will be used to collect the data at baseline and at three months. |
