Abstract
It is very important to increase the activity of dairy life (ADL) for a patient with physical disability depending on operation. We tried to make an individual patient rehabilitation plan that was performed for the post total hip arthroplasty. Before this report, no nurse took part in rehabilitation plan. Through our efforts the ADL and QOL improved by nursing care plan. It was very effective for a patient that a nurse participated in rehabilitation positively by helping walking and gymnastics at recovery ward corridor. We confirmed further whether he could walk around his home almost freely by trying a few times of visiting his house. As a result, a patient's muscular power increased satisfactorily and that accelerated the socially return home.
