Walking skills class improves hip replacement patients' mobility Following hip replacement surgery, individuals who receive a prescription to buy Celebrex to treat their osteoarthritis may experience reduced pain. However, they often remain relatively immobile due to their condition. Following hip replacement surgery, individuals who receive a prescription to buy Celebrex to treat their osteoarthritis may experience reduced pain. However, they often remain relatively immobile due to their condition. A new study from a team of Norwegian researchers showed that these individuals may be able to regain their mobility by participating in a walking skill program that trains hip-replacement patients how to walk comfortably again, according to AARP News. The results showed that seniors who participated in a walking skills class following having their hip replaced were able to walk farther and climb more stairs, compared to patients who were simply advised to complete a list of exercises following their surgery. Five months after surgery, 66 percent of those in the walking skills class were able to walk 55 yards or farther than they could before their surgery. Only about 15 percent of those in the control group reached this mark. "These exercises are in line with the daily activities the patients wanted to improve," lead researcher Kristi Heiberg of the University of Oslo told the news source. "They found this way of training inspiring and motivating." Osteoarthritis is the primary reason for receiving a hip replacement, according to the Mayo Clinic, which suggests that many people who have a prescription to buy Celebrex may benefit from the walking therapy described in the present study.
