What to do about gait errors after hip replacement

After hip replacement, the gait is not correct, through the ankle pump exercise, quadriceps static training, gait training, etc., so that the muscles can better adapt to the artificial joint, and can gradually restore the normal gait. 1. Ankle pump exercise: after hip replacement, patients can carry out ankle pump exercise in the early stage, through the ankle joint active flexion and extension, up to the maximum degree, and then maintain for 3~5 seconds, and then plantarflexion to the maximum range, maintain for 3~5 seconds, and insist on practicing in the morning, midday and evening every day, in order to increase the strength of the calf muscles and the mobility of the ankle joint. 2. Quadriceps static training: Strengthen the quadriceps static training, through the active contraction of the quadriceps muscle, maintain for about 5 seconds and then relax, daily practice can enhance the quadriceps muscle strength. 3. Gait training: in the ankle pump movement and strengthen the quadriceps muscle strength training at the same time, need to get out of bed, gait training, early can use a walker to assist, and gradually transition to self-practice, gradually increase the patient’s body balance and limb coordination, to prevent accidents and falls. The majority of patients may recover normal gait after a period of training. If the gait is unstable and accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms after hip replacement surgery, it is recommended to consult the hospital for review in time to avoid delaying the condition.
