Balance Exercises Following Hip Surgery

Balance Exercises For After Hip Surgery

Balance exercises are necessary to perform after hip surgery. During the process of a hip replacement surgery, the muscles in the hip are cut in order to insert the new hip components. Consequently, after hip surgery the muscles are in a weakened state. Because of hip muscle weakness, the patient walks with a noticeable limp. That gait pattern tends to throw the person off-balance. Therefore, balance exercises and strength exercises are important to help the recovery following hip surgery.

Balance Exercises Following Hip Surgery

Balance exercises should be performed after hip surgery to counteract the decrease in balance abilities that follow surgery. Balance exercises should focus on using the sense of touch between the feet and the floor for sensory feedback to improve balance. Balance exercises should also include improving balance with walking and improving balance with standing. Balance exercises can be progressed to include challenge to balance activities on foam or rocker boards.
