Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention studied is a long-term physiotherapy program.
The intervention is delivered by physiotherapist with minimum 5 years’ experience.
The intervention is provided individually and all treatment sessions are therapist-supervised.
The duration of the whole intervention is 12 months. The intervention is delivered in three 3-weeks cycles consisting of 5 therapeutic sessions per week. Each session lasts 140 minutes. The first and second cycle are followed by a 5-month interval.
The exercise session consists of hip joint traction followed by hip suspension exercises, lower extremities muscle strengthening and proprioception training.
Additionally, before each session, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is administered for 30 minutes. Electrical stimulation is delivered using two disposable, 60 x 60 mm, carbon electrodes. TENS setting is in a conventional mode, emitting a pulsed biphasic, symmetrical rectangular wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a pulse duration of 100 µs. The intensity is set according to the participant’s tolerance then gradually increased and limited by the perception of strong but comfortable tingling.
The intervention occurs at the rehabilitation outpatient clinic.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321236 0
The primary outcome for the study is hip-related functional evaluation performed using Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS).
Timepoint [1] 321236 0
The self-reported questionnaire assessment is performed four times, at the baseline and after each cycle of physiotherapy.
Primary outcome [2] 324280 0
Another primary outcome for the study is hip-related functional evaluation performed using The Osteoarthritis Research Society International core set of performance-based tests of physical function for use in people with hip and knee osteoarthritis (30-second Chair Stand Test (30s CST), 40-m Fast-paced Walk Test (40m FPWT) and Stair Climb Test (SCT)). This is a composite primary outcome.
Timepoint [2] 324280 0
The assessor-observed performance-based tests evaluation is performed four times, at the baseline and after each cycle of physiotherapy.
Secondary outcome [1] 374417 0
The secondary outcome for the study is magnetic resonance assessment of the hip joint. Parameters are analyzed using Scoring Hip Osteoarthritis with MRI (SHOMRI) evaluation system.
Timepoint [1] 374417 0
The MRI measurement is performed twice, at the baseline and after the 12-month intervention.
