Comparative analysis of kinesiotherapy rehabilitation after hip arthroscopy, quantified by harris and vail hip scores: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND

It has been proven that femoroacetabular impingement cases improve following arthroscopic surgery. However, rehabilitation has a major role in the patient's recovery. The protocol used by our institution consists of an evidence-based guideline for the different phases of rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE

Describe and determine the effectiveness of our institution's kinesiotherapy rehabilitation program during 2011-2016, comparing Harris and Vail Hip Scores scales (HHS and VHS, respectively) at the beginning of each treatment phase.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

This is an observational, descriptive, longitudinal and retrospective study which, from a total of 684 subjects who underwent surgery, and 103 subjects who followed our institution's rehabilitation program, ultimately uses a sample of 48 subjects for analysis; these subjects were included because they completed the scales on the three occasions determined.

RESULTS

Significant exact differences were found in: multivariate contrasts HHS (F=147.420; p=0.000); VHS (F=82,160; p=0,000). Mauchly's sphericity test: HHS (W=0.722; p=0.001); VHS (W=0.830; p=0.014). The within-subject effect showed significant exact differences in: HHS (F=169.451; p=0.000); VHS (F=115.387; p=0.000).

CONCLUSION

Results showed significant exact differences p=0.00. In spite of its limitations, this study provides a guideline for a patient's safe return to daily life activities.
