What The Precautions To Be Taken For Hip Replacement Surgery?

A friend (F, age 58) recently had a hip replacement prosthesis removed due to infection. Hopefully after 6-8 weeks a new one will be put in after antibiotic treatment. In the meantime, what sort of rehab should she have and what, if any, movements should be avoided? The PT at the rehab facility has not dealt with this before.
