Reply To: Biomechanics of sporting manouvres in hip replacement

I tried to open the link to the article, but it would not open. I would love to see research following how the biomechanics changes with intensive, sport-directed physical therapy. My surgeon only now prescribed PT after I requested it, and I am 12 and 14 months out from bilateral procedures. Only 50% of surgeons in the U.S. prescribe post-op P.T., so no wonder there is a high rate of muscle imbalances 1-2 years out. I haven’t tried running yet, and I can feel instability with certain movements/positions. Cheers, Gary
