Hi Anna
Hospital provided crutches and also through a different supplier, a raised toilet seat. Crutches were as you expect brilliant but the seat lasted all of one use and I removed as it was impractical and very uncomfortable.
The OT visited me post op and although he talked to me he continued to look the other way which was not I would have thought best practice
Out of interest my daughter wishes to go down the OT route once she has her degree
Best wishes for the rest of your course
Hi Anna I suggest you research Superpathhip surgery and you will find post op treatment is minimal at best. Let me explain I am from Sydney Australia and had a RTHP on 30/12/14 and was discharged 31/12/14 walking unaided and now some 8 weeks post op have had no rehab and drove within a week . I am walking some 10 k's a day. There is no post op requirements the hip operates just like the old one minus the pain. The only pain I experienced was from the muscles which were moved aside not cut to enable the op to be undertaken.
All the best with your research
