Hi,
This is quite a standard procedure and generally the operating surgeon should be directing whether a person is Full or partial weightbearing post operatively and for how long. Generally however, bilateral bridging is started ASAP post operatively in both cemented and non-cemented arthroplasties to ensure good healing and strength of the glutes. single leg can be commenced later if the patient can do bilateral easily. weight bearing and mobilisation with standing abduction and extension exercises (with/without theraband or other resistance) is also common however, again, this depends on the hospital/surgical protocol for weightbearing status post op (this decision is made by the surgeons depending on the level of damage to the bone surrounding the prosthetic component, patient's bone density, patient's weight and general state premorbidly, and whether the prosthesis is cemented or not). i strongly suggest you confer with your surgeon to clarify his/her rehab protocol post op and strengthen as much as possible within those guidelines. Functional exercises are more beneficial than isometrics and will gain better results sooner if permitted.

hope that helps.
