Postoperative Patient Education in Physiotherapy after Hip Arthroplasty: Patients' Perspective
ConclusionsThe postoperative patient education in physiotherapy was constructed hierarchically. According to patients' conceptions, the combination of moving and exercising elements that focused on recovery at home after the operation was essential. This requires a trusting relationship between the patient and the physiotherapist. Two critical aspects can be identified: (i) how the role of moving could shift towards preparing for going home and (ii) widening the perspective from preparing for going home to managing at home.
