14 studies (n=1148) were included in this systematic review of literature comparing post-acute physiotherapy to control interventions following total hip arthroplasty (THA) with respect to pain, function, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The result indicated physiotherapy was favoured over control interventions with respect to short-term pain, physical function, and health-related quality of life in moderate- to high-quality evidence. Additionally, none of the physiotherapy interventions met the American College of Sports Medicine exercise prescription guidelines.
