hip replacement

why does a patient have a minor range of motion and reduced strength after the surgery?

reasons i know so far:

- swelling can reduce the range of motion
- adverse-effects reflex can reduce the strength
- pain due to the sugery can reduce the skills

what other reasons are there??
and how can i reduce the swelling that shows post postoperative?

thanx for your help

greets..
