Abstract

Background: Late diagnosis and treatment of congenital hip dysplasia can cause many problems in a person's daily life.
Aim: Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect of therapeutic exercises and education to parents on weight bearing, range of motion, joint stability, and disease complications in 4-10-year-old children with congenital hip dysplasia.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted with a pre-test-post-test design on 40 children with this condition in two groups of 20 people, therapeutic exercises and education. Before and after the intervention, the subjects were evaluated by the researcher in terms of performance indicators.
Results: Based on the findings, the difference between the two groups of therapeutic exercises and education to parents was significant in weight bearing and range of motion (P=0.000 and P=0.000), but in hip joint stability and disease complications (P=0.000). P and P=0.000) no significant difference was observed.
Conclusion: Considering the greater effectiveness of the therapeutic exercises, it is suggested to design a codified program in the physical education program of schools to correct skeletal abnormalities, especially hip dysplasia.
