About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients aged 18-90 scheduled for total hip arthroplasty
Patients with primary hip osteoarthritis
Patients with or without history of prior spinal injections
Disqualifiers
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.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Spinopelvic mobility exercise
Other interventionParticipants will complete a 15-20 min session of therapeutic exercises performed by patients with assistance of a pre-recorded video. The exercise regimen has been developed by the investigators of this study to incorporate exercises to increase a patient's spinopelvic mobility. Study staff that has been properly trained will be present to guide the patient through the exercise regimen and ensure the exercises are being performed accurately.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Spinopelvic radiographic measurements
Spinopelvic parameter measurements on pre- and post-exercise radiographs including pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sacral slope and lumbar lordosis. All measurements are angles calculated in degrees.
Lumbar mobility
Calculated as the change in angle of lumbar lordosis between neutral standing and flexed-forward seated radiographs.
Spinopelvic mobility
Calculated as the change in angle of pelvic tilt between neutral standing and flexed-forward seated radiographs.
Patient risk classification for THA instability
Risk classification based on previously published risk factors for THA instability (lumbar stiffness, abnormal pelvic mobility, standing pelvic tilt greater than 13, sagittal spinal deformity)
Secondary outcomes
Oswestry Disability Index score
Patient reported outcome for pre-existing back pain and disability. The questionnaire is comprised of 10 sections, where each section is scored on a scale from 0 to 5 and summed. Higher score totals indicates worse disability.
Hip Society Score
Patient reported outcome, scored from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.
Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS, JR)
Patient reported outcome, scored from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.
The Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey scores (VR-12)
Patient reported outcome. Scores are reported as a Z-score that is based on the United States population average of 50. Higher scores indicate better outcomes.
