Abstract
Objective: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure nowadays, with hospitals easily reaching hundreds of surgeries a year and considering the cross-sectional nature. Joint awareness (JA) is indicative of the patient's adaptation and satisfaction after THA. The current study investigated the relationship between joint awareness, joint position sense (JPS), mobility level, activities of daily living, and hip pain level in patients with THA.
 Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 50 individuals with THA (31.48±55.14 weeks post-surgery; mean age was 54.32±18.28 years). Factors related to joint awareness were examined with linear regression analysis. Hip Joint position sense (JPS) was measured with a digital inclinometer, pain level was measured with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), joint awareness was assessed with the Forgotten Joint Score-12, and mobility level was assessed with the Parker Mobility Index.
 Results: The factors that have a statistically significant effect on the joint awareness are age, pain, mobility, and BMI (p = 0.002, p = 0.040, p
