Rehabilitation after hip arthroplasty is a very important part of hip joint arthrosis treatment. The weakness of leg adductors, which develops in the course of coxarthrosis, can be the reason of stereotip of pathologic gait. We have worked out and introduced the early activity method of patients after hip arthroplasty, which enables us to decrease the chance of lameness development in postoperative period and increase the patient's life quality.
