According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, there are over 200,000 hip replacements performed each year in the United States. The most common reason for hip replacement is osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis. “Hip School,” an exercise program for patients with osteoarthritis and hip replacement was developed in Germany in 1995 by orthopedic surgeon Thomas Horstmann and physiotherapist Georg Haupt.
A scientifically based exercise program addresses the characteristic impairments of hip osteoarthritis and hip replacement surgery (Journal of Active Aging 5(1):42-51.)
Physical therapy researchers in Boston, Massachusetts recently completed a 4-year randomized controlled clinical trial to examine the effectiveness of a post-rehabilitation home exercise program in functionally limited older adults suffering a hip fracture.

The gluteus medius muscle is an important frontal plane stabilizer of the pelvis. Although its primary function is pelvic stabilization in singe leg stance (closed-chain), many therapists and trainers continue to strengthen the gluteus medius in an open chain using hip abduction.
Groin strains are common in kicking athletes, particularly involving the hip adductor muscles. One of the biggest risk factors for groin strain is a previous groin injury; poor rehabilitation, leading to reduced hip adductor strength, may be to blame.
....a long-term trial of a home-based exercise program after hip fracture. Exercise started after discharge from acute therapy, and included Thera-Band Resistance Bands and cuff weights.
Norwegian physical therapists published a case report on a 58 year old woman with hip osteoarthritis. They included strength, flexibility, and balance exercises using foam balance pads. The patient received 19 sessions of physical therapy over 12 weeks and improved in pain, strength and function at a 6 month follow-up.
Strength and conditioning professionals have been adding elastic resistance bands to traditional squat and bench press exercises. It’s thought that adding elastic bands to these traditional barbell exercises will increase force output. Researchers at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles published a paper in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that quantified the force production of thick elastic bands during elastic-augmented barbell exercises.
