The Problem - Hip replacement is one of the most successful surgeries in all of medicine and performed on more than 300,000 Americans every year and is usually covered by the health insurance (in the US).

The Solution- In this study, we develop an objective, computational tool, which automates the rehabilitation process after hip replacement – Each physical exercise will be evaluated by a specified novel algorithms and the sequence of exercises will be defined accordingly using another algorithm.
