Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical application effect of a functional exercise program for patients with kinesiophobia after total hip arthroplasty based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) theory on the functional recovery of patients with kinesiophobia after total hip arthroplasty. Methods: A total of 46 patients with kinesiophobia after total hip arthroplasty in the Department of Traumatic Hip Surgery of Tianjin Hospital from February to May 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 23 patients in each group. The control group received the conventional functional exercise program for hip arthroplasty, while the experimental group received a functional exercise program for patients with kinesiophobia after hip arthroplasty based on the HAPA theory. The kinesiophobia scores and hip joint function scores of the two groups were compared before surgery, at discharge, and at 1 and 3 months after surgery to explore the clinical application effect of the functional exercise program for patients with kinesiophobia after hip arthroplasty based on the HAPA theory. Results: The longitudinal analysis of the experimental group (n=23) and the control group (n=23) showed that the kinesiophobia scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group after surgery (at discharge: 26.91±2.37 vs. 36.04±2.35; at three months: 20.09±1.12 vs. 28.04±2.84, with P values all <0.001), and the interaction effect of time×group was significant (F=289.54, P<0.001, partial η²=0.768), indicating that the intervention accelerated symptom relief. Meanwhile, the hip joint function scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (at discharge: 48.65±4.12 vs. 40.52±3.85; at three months: 87.78±5.76 vs. 66.57±5.02, all P<0.001), with a strong interaction effect (F=498.26, P<0.001, partial η²=0.847), suggesting that the intervention effectively promoted functional recovery. The time, group, and interaction effects were all highly significant (P<0.001, partial η²>0.76), confirming that the intervention could significantly reduce the level of kinesiophobia and accelerate hip joint rehabilitation, with the effect continuously increasing over time. Conclusion: Compared with the conventional functional exercise program for hip arthroplasty, the functional exercise program for patients with kinesiophobia after hip arthroplasty based on the HAPA theory can more effectively reduce the perception of movement fear in patients with kinesiophobia after hip arthroplasty and improve hip joint function.
