Purpose: Physical rehabilitation exercises (PRE) are commonly prescribed early after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the fundamental effectiveness of PRE has been questioned. As little is known about stakeholder perceptions of PRE, the aim was to explore patients' and physical therapists' perceptions of using PRE in the early period after THA.

Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted.

This study aimed to examine differences in isometric peak force (PF) at the start of the first pull, transition, and second pull phases of the clean, and determine their contribution in explaining the variance in snatch and clean & jerk (C&J) performance. Thirty-one national and international level male and female weightlifters participated. Isometric start position pull (ISPP), isometric transition position pull (ITPP), and isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) PF, along with competition performance, were analysed both in absolute and allometrically scaled terms.

Background: and purpose This study investigates whether a (regionally) standardized physiotherapy approach, employing a stepped-care model, can more effectively enhance preoperative physical function in end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and improve postoperative outcomes, addressing the current gap in understanding the impact of such interventions.

Methods: This mono-center observational prospective cohort study followed 216 primary UKA or TKA patients for one-year post-surgery. Preoperative physiotherapy, recorded through self-reported questionnaires, included standardization and treatment frequency details.
