Effectiveness of Therapeutic Exercises on Spinopelvic Mobility

53 participantsStarted 2025-02

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which spinopelvic exercises may affect either sagittal spinal deformity or spinopelvic mobility and identifying patients at risk for hip instability following a total hip replacement.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion criteria

. Patients aged 18-90 scheduled for total hip arthroplasty
. Patients with primary hip osteoarthritis
. Patients with or without history of prior spinal injections

Exclusion criteria

. Patients undergoing revision total hip arthroplasty.
. Patients with spinal fusion.
. Patients who exercised prior to radiographic analysis.
. Patients unable to complete imaging at the designated time of day.
. Symptomatic contralateral hip osteoarthritis.
. Patients unwilling or unable to perform therapeutic exercise program as instructed. This includes patients requiring use of assistive devices or who would be deemed unsafe to perform the exercises without a 1- or 2-person assist.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
