The Rehabilitation Services Department at Moffitt Cancer Center presents this instructional video to help you learn the necessary motions and procedures for a full recovery following hip surgery. After hip surgery, your body requires careful movement to support healing and prevent damage to surgical repairs.
Discover the correct way to move and avoid harmful motions that could compromise your hip surgery recovery.
This instructional video highlights three fundamental movements to avoid post-hip surgery:
▪️Avoid Crossing the Surgical Leg: Learn why it's crucial not to cross your surgery leg past the middle of your body, whether standing, sitting, or lying down. Using pillows between your knees while lying down can help maintain proper leg positioning.
▪️Prevent Hip Flexion Beyond 90 Degrees: Understand the importance of maintaining a proper L-shape (90-degree angle) with your hip and avoiding a V-shape (excessive bending). Maintaining good posture and using elevated surfaces like a high toilet can assist in this.
▪️Keep the Surgical Leg from Turning Inward: Learn how to prevent the surgical leg's inward rotation to avoid strain and maintain proper alignment during movements.
