AIM: To analyze early rehabilitation training to the functional restoration of limbs after the replacement operation of coax and study the methods of improving the quality of rehabilitation, shortening the rehabilitation time and reducing the correlated complication. METHODS: Forty-five patients with replacement of total hip were randomly divided into routine treatment group with 22 cases (control group) and recovery group with 23 cases. The quality of functional restoration of limbs was evaluated by the comparison of Harris integral calculus and Barthel Index (BI) between the two groups. RESULTS: The Harris integral calculus and BI were 91.58 +/- 9.20 and 79.32 +/- 18.25 in the recovery group and 72.19 +/- 11.24 and 68.08 +/- 12.25 in the control group, respectively, which were better in the former group. CONCLUSIONS: Early rehabilitation training can improve the long-term and recent effect of total hip replacement, thus improving the patients' quality of life, shortening the rehabilitation time and reducing the correlated complication.
