INTRODUCTION: Hip arthroplasty is the hip joint replaced by an artificial implant to improve the functional activity and reduce pain for the patients with restricted range of motion in patients with degenerative and inflammatory arthritis, fracture neck of femur. The aim of the study is to know the effect of soft tissue manipulation in patients with Total Hip Arthroplasty. METHODS: 48 Patients with total hip arthroplasty were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (N = 24) received soft tissue manipulation, group B (N = 24) control group received regular physiotherapy protocol. The severity of pain measured by Numeric Pain Rating Scale and the functional activity by modified Harrison Hip Scale Score. RESULTS: The results shows significant difference in reduction of pain and improve the functional activity in patients with total hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that application of soft tissue manipulation in total hip arthroplasty patients will reduce pain and functional disability.
