Home rehabilitation after THA surgery Put a pillow between your legs when you sleep, turn around with the non-operated side up, and do not cross your feet when lying in bed. Your rehabilitation therapist can design the proper height of your bed or chair and provide you with ways to modify the furniture. Sleeping on your back: Do not cross your feet. Side sleeping position: the leg of the joint replacement is underneath. Always keep the hip joint flexed at no more than 90° when sitting in a chair. Avoid low chairs or soft sofas. If you must sit in a low chair, first straighten the replaced leg. You should not bend forward, pad your feet, or stack your feet. From standing to sitting or sitting to standing up, slowly move your body back until your “good foot” touches the edge of the chair, and before sitting down, extend the foot that has been operated on forward and use the chair handle to support your body to slowly sit down. 1.When standing up, move your body to the side of the chair, extend the foot that has been operated on, and use the chair handle to support your body. 2.When going to the toilet, those who cannot squat should straighten the operated foot first when standing up and sitting down, and slowly sit down with the knees bent on the “good foot”. Put on the pants 1. Put on the underwear and pants: hook the pants with long-handled pliers or dressing aids, lower them to the ground, straighten the operated side of the foot first and put on the pants, then put on the other side, pull up the pants to the thigh, stand up and put on the pants, before standing up, follow the steps of “3”. 2. When taking off underwear and pants: push the pants until they are lower than the buttocks, sit down slowly, push the pants lower than the knees, pull out the foot on the side that has not been operated on first, then pull out the pants on the other side with long-handled pliers or dressing aids, do not raise the foot on the side that has been operated on or bend over to take off the pants. To put on the socks, first place the sock cover on the aid cover, drape the cotton band of the aid to the ground, put the foot in, and then pull up the sock cover. To remove the socks, push down the toe of the sock with the dressing aid to expose the ankle and push the sock away from the foot. When putting on shoes, use a long-handled shoe draw to avoid overflexion of the hip joint, and stand with one hand holding the edge of the furniture or bed at an appropriate height, bend the operated side backwards, and then put on shoes. When taking a bath, you can stand and use the shower. If you must use a bathtub, use a seat of appropriate height or use a shower chair or board placed in the bathtub. Before sitting down, put your feet close to the bathtub, straighten the side of the foot that has been operated on, press the center of the bath board with one hand, and slowly sit down with the other hand holding the walking frame or handrail (do not sit on the edge of the board). The “good foot” moves in first. The operated foot should be moved into the bath at the same time as the body, do not twist the body, and keep the foot straight. You can use long-handled pliers to pick up objects, or place the operated foot behind you and kneel down to pick up the object, to avoid hyperflexion of the hip. The suitability of this method depends on the individual patient’s physical ability. When riding in a private car, push back the front seat and tilt the backrest, then slowly move the body backward and put the operated side straight in front; when riding in a bus, use the foot that has not been operated on to step on first, and use the operated side to step off first when getting off.
