Abstract
Objectives This study determines gender variation, comparing the significance level between men and women related to functional ambulation characteristics after hip arthroplasty. The study focuses on the broader female pelvis and how it affects the rehabilitation regimen following total hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional study, 20 cases of right hip arthroplasty were divided into 10 male and 10 female cases, aged 40-65 years. The functional ambulation parameters (walking cadence, gait speed, stride length, and gait cycle time) were acquired from the GAITRite device, as well as kinematic values for hip frontal plane displacement and kinetic parameters for ground response force in the medial-lateral direction. Results An independent t-test showed a significant difference in the kinematic parameter variables for the anterior superior iliac spine, more significant trochanter displacement, and hip abduction angle between the operated and non-operated limbs for each group separately. Regarding the functional ambulation parameters, there was a significant difference in the walking cadence between the operated and non-operated limbs of both male and female groups. Moreover, the output variables of ground reaction force measures revealed significant differences between their operated and non-operated limbs. The linear regression model used was consistent with the current results, demonstrating a weak negative correlation between the abduction angle of the operated hip and gait speed for both male and female groups. Conclusion Based on the findings, we draw the conclusion that improving a rehabilitated physical therapy program for the abductors of both male and female patients' operated and non-operated limbs is essential for normalizing the ground reaction force value, avoiding focus on the operated hip, and reducing the amount of time that the operated hip's abductors must perform. This involves exposing the surgically repaired limb to the risk of post-operative displacement or dislocation, particularly in female patients.

Abstract
Aims Conventional patient-reported surveys, used for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), are limited by subjectivity and recall bias. Objective functional evaluation, such as gait analysis, to delineate a patient's functional capacity and customize surgical interventions, may address these shortcomings. This systematic review endeavours to investigate the application of objective functional assessments in appraising individuals undergoing THA. Methods The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were applied. Eligible studies of THA patients that conducted at least one type of objective functional assessment both pre- and postoperatively were identified through Embase, Medline/PubMed, and Cochrane Central database-searching from inception to 15 September 2023. The assessments included were subgrouped for analysis: gait analysis, motion analysis, wearables, and strength tests. Results A total of 130 studies using 15 distinct objective functional assessment methods (FAMs) were identified. The most frequently used method was instrumented gait/motion analysis, followed by the Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUG), 6 minute walk test, timed stair climbing test, and various strength tests. These assessments were characterized by their diagnostic precision and applicability to daily activities. Wearables were frequently used, offering cost-effectiveness and remote monitoring benefits. However, their accuracy and potential discomfort for patients must be considered. Conclusion The integration of objective functional assessments in THA presents promise as a progress-tracking modality for improving patient outcomes. Gait analysis and the TUG, along with advancing wearable sensor technology, have the potential to enhance patient care, surgical planning, and rehabilitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical gait analysis can be used to evaluate the recovery process of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). The postoperative walking patterns of these patients can be significantly influenced by the choice of surgical approach, as each procedure alters distinct anatomical structures. The aim of this study is twofold. The first objective is to develop a gait model to describe the change in ambulation one week after THA. The secondary goal is to describe the differences associated with the surgical approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients undergoing THA with lateral (n = 9), anterior (n = 15), and posterior (n = 12) approaches were included in the study. Walking before and 7 days after surgery was recorded using a markerless motion capture system. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), a data reduction technique, condensed 21 spatiotemporal gait parameters to a smaller set of dominant variables. The EFA-derived gait domains were utilized to study post-surgical gait variations and to compare the post-surgical gait among the three groups. RESULTS Four distinct gait domains were identified. The most pronounced variation one week after surgery is in the Rhythm (gait cycle time: + 32.9 % ), followed by Postural control (step width: + 27.0 % ), Phases (stance time: + 11.0 % ), and Pace (stride length: - 9.3 % ). In postsurgical walking, Phases is statistically significantly different in patients operated with the posterior approach compared to lateral (p-value = 0.017) and anterior (p-value = 0.002) approaches. Furthermore, stance time in the posterior approach group is significantly lower than in healthy individuals (p-value < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study identified a four-component gait model specific to THA patients. The results showed that patients after THA have longer stride time but shorter stride length, wider base of support, and longer stance time, although the posterior group had a statistically significant shorter stance time than the others. The findings of this research have the potential to simplify the reporting of gait outcomes, reduce redundancy, and inform targeted interventions in regards to specific gait domains.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical and functional improvement after minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become increasingly controversial. The minimally invasive anterolateral approach (MIALA) allows rapid recovery resulting in a reduced need for rehabilitation. Alterations in muscle and static balance have previously been demonstrated. Results in the context of quantified gait analysis (QGA) and MIALA compared to an asymptomatic population remain unknown beyond one year postoperatively. Thus, the main objective of this controlled study was to compare the spatiotemporal parameters of gait, obtained using a QGA, beyond one year postoperatively in subjects operated on for THA by MIALA, with a group of asymptomatic subjects of the same age. The secondary objectives of the study were to compare the other QGA and EMG data acquired in operated subjects with asymptomatic subjects. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that QGA and EMG parameters would not normalize beyond one year postoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-one subjects were recruited, including 16 patients (68 years old; IQR: 65-70) who underwent MIALA, at 15.5 months postoperatively (IQR: 13-17) and 15 asymptomatic subjects (62 years old; IQR: 61-71). Subjects underwent QGA and maximal isometric muscle force tests on the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) and Sartorius muscles. Spatiotemporal gait parameters were the primary endpoint. The other QGA parameters: kinetics (characteristic values of vertical ground reaction forces, peak hip moments) and kinematics (hip joint amplitudes and pelvic mobility in the frontal and sagittal plane) constituted the secondary criteria. RESULTS Five subjects were excluded for unrestored offset. Walking speed was lower in operated patients (1.03m/s versus 1.18m/s, p=0.005). Maximal isometric muscle force moments were lower in patients operated on for the gluteus maximus and medius as well as the TFL (p<0.005). The vertical ground reaction forces were lower for the operated patients for the loading phase (FzFCmax, p=0.001), the single stance phase (FzSPmin, p=5.05.10-2) and the swing phase (FzTOmax, p=0.0002). The moments were lower in the sagittal plane for the operated patients (0.6N.m for the operated versus 1.1N.m for the asymptomatic, p=0.02). The pelvic amplitudes in the sagittal plane were lower for operated patients (3.3° versus 7.2°, p=0.05). DISCUSSION Our hypothesis appears to be validated. Gait deficits persisted beyond one year postoperatively after THA with MIALA. A decrease in walking speed, maximal isometric muscle force of the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus and TFL was observed, as well as a decrease in propulsive force and peak hip moment. Functionally, these results could signify muscle damage following surgery, requiring rehabilitation for improved muscle function. LEVEL OF PROOF III: Non-randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach is a muscle sparing surgical technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The literature reports good clinical and functional results of the SuperPATH technique in the short term. We aimed to compare early outcomes and gait analysis of THA using the mini posterior approach (MPA) and supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPATH) approach. METHODS 44 patients who underwent THA, were randomly allocated to either MPA or SuperPATH. The data were then collected prospectively (preoperatively and postoperatively at 6 weeks). Plain anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis and instrumental gait analysis were obtained. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (HOOS) were used to assess functional and clinical outcomes. RESULTS No significant difference was found in patients' surgical outcomes. Patients in the SuperPATH group had less pain according to the VAS score at follow-up than the MPA group (p < 0.01). There was also a significant improvement in HHS and HOOS scores for all patients (p < 0.001) with the SuperPATH group showing superior changes. The comparison of mean differences in gait velocity between preoperative and 6 weeks postoperative result, revealed improvement in the SuperPATH group over the MPA group (p = 0.06). Limping was more persistent in the MPA group. Kinematic parameters demonstrated improved hip joint excursion slightly higher in the MPA group. There was no significant improvement in kinetic and kinematic parameters at different walking moments for all patients at 6 weeks compared to preoperative gait patterns. CONCLUSIONS SuperPATH and MPA both show excellent results. This study reveals that the SuperPATH technique was associated with lower postoperative pain levels, and higher physical function and quality of life. Improved functional outcomes allowed earlier postoperative rehabilitation and faster recovery. Specific improvement in gait patterns were identified with nonsignificant differences between the 2 approaches at 6 weeks follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent disease affecting the hip and knee joint and is characterized by load-mediated pain and decreased quality of life. Dependent on involved joint, patients present antalgic movement compensations, aiming to decrease loading on the involved joint. However, the associated alterations in mechanical loading of the ipsi- and contra-lateral lower limb joints, are less documented. Here, we documented the biomechanical fingerprint of end-stage hip and knee osteoarthritis patients in terms of ipsilateral and contralateral hip and knee loading during walking and stair ambulation. METHODS Three-dimensional motion-analysis was performed in 20 hip, 18 knee osteoarthritis patients and 12 controls during level walking and stair ambulation. Joint contact forces were calculated using a standard musculoskeletal modelling workflow in Opensim. Involved and contralateral hip and knee joint loading was compared against healthy controls using independent t-tests (p < 0.05). FINDINGS Both hip and knee cohorts significantly decreased loading of the involved joint during gait and stair ambulation. Hip osteoarthritis patients presented no signs of ipsilateral knee nor contralateral leg overloading, during walking and stair ascending. However, knee osteoarthritis patients significantly increased loading at the ipsilateral hip, and contralateral hip and knee joints during stair ambulation compared to controls. INTERPRETATION The biomechanical fingerprint in knee and hip osteoarthritis patients confirmed antalgic movement strategies to unload the involved leg during gait. Only during stair ambulation in knee osteoarthritis patients, movement adaptations were confirmed that induced unbalanced intra- and inter-limb loading conditions, which are known risk factors for secondary osteoarthritis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) leads to excellent clinical and functional results. The Minimally Invasive Anterior Approach (MIAA) theoretically allows rapid recovery and a reduction in the need for rehabilitation, but alterations in muscle and static balance have previously been demonstrated. Kinetic, kinematic and muscular alterations have been shown to persist up to 1year postoperatively but data beyond 1year postoperatively is lacking. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare the data from Quantitative Gait Analysis (QGA) coupled with electromyography (EMG), of patients one year postoperatively with THA through MIAA, compared to an asymptomatic control group. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that QGA and EMG parameters would not normalize beyond one year postoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients were recruited, including 15 subjects (64.6±6.6years) operated on by MIAA, who at 15.9±3.1months postoperatively, along with 12 asymptomatic control subjects (68.9±9.7years), who underwent QGA and maximal isometric muscle strength tests, coupled with EMG on the gluteus medius and maximus, Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) and Sartorius muscles. The spatiotemporal parameters of walking (step length, walking speed, cadence, single leg support time), kinetics (vertical ground reaction forces, hip moments in the 3 planes) and kinematics (coxofemoral and pelvic amplitudes) were analyzed. RESULTS The walking speed was lower on the non-operated side of the experimental subjects (0.96ms-1 compared to 1.13ms-1 for asymptomatic [p=0.018]), as was the step length on the operated side (0.53m compared to 0.60m for asymptomatic [p=0.042]). Maximal isometric muscle strength was lower in subjects operated on for the gluteus maximus and medius (p=0.004), compared to asymptomatic subjects. Moments were lower in the subjects operated on in extension (0.72Nm on the operated side, 0.75Nm on the non-operated side compared to 1.06Nm for asymptomatic [p=0.007 and p=0.024]) and lateral rotation (0.09Nm on the operated side, 0.05Nm on the non-operated side compared to 0.16Nm for asymptomatic subjects [p=0.009 and p=0.0005]). Hip adduction amplitudes were lower on the operated side compared to asymptomatic subjects (3.93° versus 9.14° for asymptomatic [p=0.005]). Pelvic amplitudes in the frontal plane were lower amongst operated subjects (0.44° against 1.97° for asymptomatic [p=0.041]). Pelvic amplitudes in the sagittal plane were higher in the operated subjects (15.74° on the operated side, 15.43° on the non-operated side compared to 9.65° for asymptomatic [p=0.041 and p=0.032]). DISCUSSION Our initial hypothesis was validated, since walking deficits persisted beyond one year postoperatively after THA through MIAA. A decrease in maximal isometric muscle strength of the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus was observed, as well as an alteration of kinetic and kinematic parameters in the sagittal and frontal planes. The results were in agreement with the literature and reflected the establishment of compensatory mechanisms to overcome alterations in joint strength and range more than one year postoperatively. These results would allow rehabilitation programs to be more specific and would justify a study on the other approaches for THA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; non-randomized control trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Foot to ground pressure changes in total hip arthroplasty patients' gait are not widely described, although they are sensitive to gait abnormalities and the distribution of plantar pressures may differ before and after the surgery. This study aimed to analyse longitudinally differences in plantar pressure during gait in total hip arthroplasty patients compared to healthy controls. METHODS Eighteen males participated in this study. Eight males, who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty, participated at the data collection three times: 4 weeks before the surgery, 12 and 24 weeks after, and ten healthy controls. All participants were asked to walk over Emed platform. To compare differences between the affected and unaffected limbs, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the difference between total hip arthroplasty patients and healthy controls. FINDINGS Statistically significant differences between the affected and unaffected limb were observed only during the preoperative measurement in peak pressure at MH4 area and in the contact area at MH4 and big toe. When comparing total hip arthroplasty patients and controls, a difference in the contact time at MH2, MH3 and MH4 areas 12 weeks after surgery and at MH2 and MH4 24 weeks after the surgery were observed. INTERPRETATION The shorter contact time at forefoot areas may indicate an alteration in the propulsive phase of the gait of both the affected limb and unaffected limb in total hip arthroplasty patients as a result of decreased terminal hip extension during the stance phase described in previous studies.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgical procedure in older adults (65 years or older). THA has high patient satisfaction, but little is known about balance and mobility limitations after surgery and if outcomes are sex-specific. This study was aimed to evaluate post-THA asymmetry during unilateral standing and a dynamic balance and reach test and test the hypotheses that balance performance would be decreased on the surgical limb and that balance deficits would be greater in women than in men. Research Design and Methods Primary, unilateral THA (70 male, 57 female) patients completed a bilateral 10-s single-leg stance test. Sixty male but only 34 female participants could maintain unilateral balance for 10 s or greater. The cohort who successfully completed the 10-s single-limb stance test then completed a Lower Quarter Y-Balance Test in which the maximum anterior (ANT), posteromedial (PM), and posterolateral reach distances were obtained bilaterally and used to calculate the asymmetry score. All variables were compared using a mixed-model repeated-measures analysis of variance (sex by limb), while independent samples t tests were used to assess sex-specific asymmetry. Results Women failed single-leg stance at a higher rate than men (85.7% vs 59.6%; p = .001). Reach distance was different between limbs for all reach directions (p < .004) with greater reach distance on the nonoperative limb for all patients. Men had a greater reach distance in the ANT (p = .004) and PM (p = .006) directions. Discussion and Implications These results indicate that post-THA, the operative limb and female patients have greater balance limitations. These results are novel and reveal sex-specific patterns that emphasize the need for sex-specific postoperative rehabilitation programs to improve long-term outcomes, especially in older adults with muscle weakness and balance deficits.

Abstract
It is known that patients after unilateral hip arthroplasty still suffer from a deficient gait pattern compared to healthy individuals one year after surgery. Through the method of gait sonification, it may be possible to achieve a more efficient training and a more physiological gait pattern. Increased loads on the musculoskeletal system could thus be reduced and rehabilitation times shortened. In a previous investigation with this patient group, we found immediate gait pattern changes during training with dual mode acoustic feedback [real-time feedback (RTF) and instructive model sequences (IMS)]. To determine whether an effect persists without the immediate use of acoustic feedback, we analyze data from four times of testing. Following unilateral hip arthroplasty 22 patients participated in an intervention of ten gait training sessions of 20 min each. During gait training the sonification group (SG) (n = 11) received an acoustic feedback consisting of RTF and IMS compared to a control group (CG) (n = 11). Pre-test, intermediate test, post-test, and re-test were conducted using an inertial sensor-based motion analysis system. We found significant effects (α = 0.05) regarding step length and range of motion (RoM) of the hip joint. Step length of the affected leg increased in the SG from intermediate test to post-test but decreased in the CG [intermediate test: (SG) 0.63 m ± 0.12 m, (CG) 0.63 m ± 0.09 m; post-test: (SG) 0.66 m ± 0.11 m, (CG) 0.60 m ± 0.09 m]. However, from the post-test to the re-test a reverse development was observed [re-test: (SG) 0.63 m ± 0.10 m, (CG) 0.65 m ± 0.09 m]. Also, from post-test to re-test a decrease in the RoM of the unaffected hip for the SG but an increase for the CG could be observed [post-test: (SG) 44.10° ± 7.86°, (CG) 37.05° ± 7.21°; re-test: (SG) 41.73° ± 7.38°, (CG) 40.85° ± 9.28°]. Regarding further parameters, significant interactions in step duration as well as increases in stride length, gait speed, cadence, and a decrease in ground contact time from pre-test to re-test were observed for both groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Watson-Jones interval plane between tensor fascia lata (TFL) and the gluteus medius (GM) has come back into fashion in the past few years - Röttinger described the anterolateral minimal invasive approach (ALMI) for use in total hip replacement, in which the standard Watson-Jones interval was used, but with a completely intermuscular plane. However, the term anterolateral is often still utilised to describe intramuscular approaches in which the GM was violated, thus creating a potential misunderstanding in the literature. Accordingly, we have designed a study to answer the following questions: (1) are there articles in the recent literature that use the term "anterolateral" to describe different approaches; (2) which would be the correct description of the anterolateral approach? METHODS We did a systematic review of the literature based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, to look for peer reviewed papers of any evidence level focusing on the definition of anterolateral approach; MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched. RESULTS 73 manuscripts met the criteria of the systematic search. 53 papers (72.6%) reported the term anterolateral approach to describe a complete intermuscular approach between the interval between GM and TFL. Nonetheless, in the remaining 20 papers (27.4%) the term anterolateral was used to describe intramuscular approaches in which the gluteus medius was violated. CONCLUSION In about 1 out of 4 papers in the recent literature, the term anterolateral was utilised to describe approaches that are completely different both in terms of anatomy and function.

J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1891-1899.e5. [PMID: 32173617 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.02.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lateral and posterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) approaches disrupt muscle function, which could impact gait. The objectives of this study were to compare muscle activation and joint mechanics during gait, and isometric strength between participants after lateral and posterior THA approaches and healthy adults. METHODS Participants 1 year post-THA from either lateral (n = 21) or posterior (n = 21) approaches, and healthy adults (n = 21) ambulated at self-selected speeds. Surface electromyography, optical motion capture, and force plates measured muscle activation and joint mechanics during gait. A dynamometer measured isometric torque. Gait characteristics and isometric torque were compared using analysis of variance and effect sizes (d). RESULTS Lateral THA group had higher gluteus medius amplitudes during gait compared to the healthy group (P < .01, d = -0.97). Posterior THA group had higher gluteus maximus amplitudes during loading response (P = .02, d = -0.94) and higher hamstring amplitudes during midstance (P = .02, d = 0.45-1.31) than the healthy group. Both THA groups had decreased hip flexion and adduction angle excursions during gait (d = 0.89-1.14), but increased medial rotation angle excursions (d = -1.06 to -0.91), compared to the healthy group. Lateral THA group had lower isometric hip abduction torque than the healthy group (P = .03, d = 0.74). There was no pelvic drop in the THA groups. CONCLUSION There were few differences in gait and isometric torque between lateral and posterior THA groups. The elevated muscle activation amplitudes in the lateral and posterior THA groups compared to healthy adults were likely due to muscle weakness. Despite these findings, there was no evidence of pelvic drop.

Abstract
➤Hip joint capsular ligaments (iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral) play a predominant role in functional mobility and joint stability. ➤The zona orbicularis resists joint distraction (during neutral positions), and its aperture mechanism stabilizes the hip from adverse edge-loading (during extreme hip flexion-extension). ➤To preserve joint function and stability, it is important to minimize capsulotomy size and avoid disrupting the zona orbicularis, preserve the femoral head size and neck length, and only repair when or as necessary without altering capsular tensions. ➤It is not fully understood what the role of capsular tightness is in patients who have cam femoroacetabular impingement and if partial capsular release could be beneficial and/or therapeutic. ➤During arthroplasty surgery, a femoral head implant that is nearly equivalent to the native head size with an optimal neck-length offset can optimize capsular tension and decrease dislocation risk where an intact posterior hip capsule plays a critical role in maintaining hip stability.

Abstract
Background Comparative studies of total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior approach (DAA) compared with the anterolateral approach (ALA) by gait analysis compared the results of the two groups, the damage to the abductor muscle, with objective and detailed kinematic as well as kinetic data of actual gait. The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the differences in gait such as time-dependent parameters, kinetics, and kinematics after THA using the DAA compared with ALA. Methods PubMed Central, OVID Medline, Cochrane Collaboration Library, Web of Science, EMBASE and AHRQ carried out a comprehensive search for all relevant randomized controlled trials and comparative studies, up to December 2018. Based on the following criteria, studies were selected: 1) study design: randomized controlled trials or non-randomized comparative studies; 2) study population: patients with primary osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis; 3) intervention: total hip arthroplasty by DAA or ALA; 4) Kinetic and kinematic data after gait analysis in the plains during postoperative follow-up. Results Of the 148 studies, 7 randomized controlled trials and 5 comparative studies were finally included in this systematic review. The peak hip flexion within 3 months after surgery was described in two studies and was significantly higher in the DAA group. (OR = 1.90; 95% CI [1.67,2.13]; P < 0.01, Z = 16.18). The gait speed within 3 months after surgery was reported in 3 studies and was significantly higher in the DAA group than in the ALA group. (SMD = 0.17; 95% CI [0.12,0.22]; P < 0.01, Z = 6.62) There was no difference between the two groups in stride length, step length, and hip range of motion in sagittal plane. Conclusions In this meta-analysis, gait speed and peak hip flexion within 3 months after surgery were significantly higher in the DAA group than in the ALA group. Despite a few significant differences between two approaches, determining whether the reported differences in terms of postoperative gait values are clinically meaningful remains a substantial challenge.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure used to minimize symptoms generated by orthopedic pathologies, such as osteoarthritis. It is emphasized that there is no agreement if gait parameters are restored after surgery. Objective: To compare gait space-time and functionality between individuals submitted to unilateral or bilateral THR in relation to healthy controls. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 23 subjects, eight submitted to Bilateral THR (BG), eight submitted to Unilateral THR (UG) and seven healthy individuals (CG). For the gait analysis, the 10-meter walk test was used, with the subjects walking in their Habitual (HS) and Maximal (MS) gait Speeds. Variables of interest included average speed, number of steps, test duration, cadence and Inter-Stride Time Variability (ISTV). Functionality was assessed by the Harris Hip Score and the WOMAC questionnaire. Comparisons were made between the three groups. Results: At the HS condition, the average gait speed was significantly lower in the BG compared to the CG. Similarly, during the MS condition, the BG showed a lower gait speed compared to the CG. During MS gait, the BG performed significantly worse regarding ISTV compared to both the UG, and the CG. The functionality results showed that both the BG and UG scored significantly worse than the CG. Conclusion: Hip functionality and gait mechanics are impaired even after several years of surgery in subjects submitted to THR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cadaveric and clinical studies suggest surgical release of the short external rotators is sometimes necessary to improve exposure during total hip arthroplasty (THA) using an anterior approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of those surgical releases on gait following THA. METHODS 15 patients undergoing THA using an anterior approach, anterior approach with surgical releases, or posterior approach underwent 3-D gait analysis preoperatively, and at 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively. At each time point, temporal parameters, kinematics, and kinetics were compared. The anterior approach was compared to the anterior approach cohort with surgical releases, and the surgical release cohort was compared to a posterior approach cohort. The mean change score between preoperative and 6 weeks, and 6-week to 12-week analyses were analysed. RESULTS There were no demographic differences between the groups. There were no significant differences between the groups for the temporal parameters and kinematic analyses at either time point comparison. The surgical release cohort had a lower hip internal rotation moment compared to the anterior approach cohort for the 6- to 12-week comparison ( p = 0.05), and compared to the posterior approach cohort for the preoperative to 6-week ( p = 0.03) and 6- to 12-week comparison ( p = 0.02). CONCLUSION Releasing the short external rotators during an anterior approach did not cause significant temporal and kinematic changes after THA. However, small changes in hip internal rotation moments can be expected. These findings should be correlated with patient-reported outcome measures to determine if these gait anomalies predict poor outcome following THA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the change in walking gait biomechanics after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis (OA) compared to the pre-operative gait status, and to compare the recovery of gait following THA with healthy individuals. METHODS Systematic review with meta-analysis of studies investigating changes in gait biomechanics after THA compared to (1) preoperative levels and (2) healthy individuals. Data were pooled at commonly reported time points and standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated in meta-analyses for spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic parameters. RESULTS Seventy-four studies with a total of 2,477 patients were included. At 6 weeks postoperative, increases were evident for walking speed (SMD: 0.32, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.14, 0.50), stride length (SMD: 0.40, 95% CI 0.19, 0.61), step length (SMD: 0.41, 95% CI 0.23, 0.59), and transverse plane hip range of motion (ROM) (SMD: 0.36, 95% CI 0.05, 0.67) compared to pre-operative gait. Sagittal, coronal and transverse hip ROM was significantly increased at 3 months (SMDs: 0.50 to 1.07). At 12 months postoperative, patients demonstrated deficits compared with healthy individuals for walking speed (SMD: -0.59, 95% CI -1.08 to -0.11), stride length (SMD: -1.27, 95% CI -1.63, -0.91), single limb support time (SMD: -0.82, 95% CI -1.23, -0.41) and sagittal plane hip ROM (SMD: -1.16, 95% CI -1.83, -0.49). Risk of bias scores ranged from seven to 24 out of 26. CONCLUSIONS Following THA for OA, early improvements were demonstrated for spatiotemporal and kinematic gait patterns compared to the pre-operative levels. Deficits were still observed in THA patients compared to healthy individuals at 12 months.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anterolateral surgical approach in hip joint arthroplasty necessitates division of the hip abductor muscle complex, which may compromise postoperative gait observed in the frontal plane. The aim of the study was to compare frontal plane moment after hip joint arthroplasty by anterolateral or posterior approach and to explore which compensatory strategies patients use to decrease frontal plane moment. METHODS Twenty-eight patients were randomized by sealed envelopes to hip resurfacing arthroplasty surgery by anterolateral (ad modum Watson) or posterior (ad modum Moore) approach, performed by two senior surgeons. Gait analyses were performed using 3D motion capture before surgery, 3, and 12 months after surgery. Peak ground reaction force was extracted for early and late stance and the corresponding frontal plane moment was defined. Measures of lateral trunk inclination, pelvic drop and hip abduction were obtained for the stance phase of the affected leg. FINDINGS An effect of surgical approach on frontal plane moment for the affected leg was found during early stance phase (p = 0.006) where average frontal plane moment in the anterolateral groups was 202.42 N mm/kg in less compared to the posterior group after one year. A similar effect from baseline to 12 months for trunk inclination (p = 0.03) and an overall negative correlation between frontal plane moment and trunk inclination was found (r = -0.66, p = 0.03). INTERPRETATION Frontal plane moment during early stance was less one year after hip joint arthroplasty through anterolateral compared to posterior approach. Patients' primary strategy to reduce frontal plane moment seems to be increased lateral trunk inclination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The choice of surgical approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a contentious issue with regards to clinical outcome optimization and restoring patient function. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of surgical approach for THA on quantitative gait analysis. METHODS Patients undergoing THA for primary osteoarthritis of the hip were assigned to 1 of 3 surgical approaches: anterior, posterior and lateral. Standardized implants were used at the time of surgery. Three-dimensional gait analysis was performed preoperatively and at 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively. At each time point, we compared temporal parameters, kinematics and kinetics. RESULTS We included 30 patients in our analysis (10 anterior, 10 posterior, and 10 lateral). The groups were similar with respect to age (p = 0.27), body mass index (p = 0.16), and Charlson Comorbidity Index score (p = 0.66). Temporal parameters were similar among the groups at all time points. The lateral cohort had higher pelvic tilt during stance on the affected leg than the anterior cohort at 6 weeks (p = 0.041). Affected leg ipsilateral trunk lean during stance was higher in the lateral group than in the other cohorts at 6 weeks (p = 0.008) and 12 weeks (p = 0.040). The anterior and posterior groups showed increased external rotation at 6 weeks (p = 0.003) and 12 weeks (p = 0.012) compared with the lateral group. CONCLUSION Temporal gait parameters were similar following THA for all approaches. Differences in gait kinematics and kinetics exist; however, given the small absolute differences, the clinical importance of these changes remains undetermined.

[PMID: 29149623 DOI: 10.1016/j.jelekin.2017.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2017] [Revised: 11/06/2017] [Accepted: 11/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have compared the biomechanical outcomes of different surgical approaches for hip arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to compare hip, pelvic, and trunk kinematics and kinetics between individuals who underwent a posterior or anterolateral approach. METHODS Forty-five individuals between 40 and 80 years old underwent motion analysis during overground gait prior to hip arthroplasty and 3 months after surgery. Walking speed, hip flexion angle, hip extension angle, adduction angle and moment, trunk angle, trunk lean, and pelvis drop were compared between approaches. FINDINGS There were 30 subjects in the posterior group and 15 subjects in the anterolateral group. The groups did not change differently over time as there were no significant interaction effects. However, there were main effects for time; walking speed increased 19.9% (p < .001), hip flexion angle increased 3.3 degrees (p = 0.014) and peak hip extension increased 4.5 degrees (p = .001), and peak hip adduction significantly increased 1.9 degrees (p = .004) for the sample as a whole. Trunk angle (p = .283) and trunk lean (p = .401) did not significantly change between time points, but there was a significant increase in pelvic drop (p = .003). INTERPRETATION Surgical approach did not affect biomechanical outcomes 3 months after arthroplasty. Both groups showed improvement in sagittal plane hip kinetics and kinematics. However, increased pelvic drop may be indicative of residual hip weakness in both groups.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Footwear-generated biomechanical manipulation of lower-limb joints was shown to beneficially impact gait and quality of life in knee osteoarthritis patients, but has not been tested in hip osteoarthritis patients. We examined a customized gait treatment program using a biomechanical device shown in previous investigations to be capable of manipulating hip biomechanics via foot center of pressure (COP) modulation. The objective of this study was to assess the treatment program for hip osteoarthritis patients, enrolled in a 1-year prospective investigation, by means of objective gait and spatiotemporal parameters, and subjective quality of life measures. Gait analysis and completion of questionnaires were performed at the start of the treatment (baseline), and after 3, 6, and 12 months. Outcome parameters were evaluated over time using linear mixed effects models, and association between improvement in quality of life measures and change in objective outcomes was tested using mixed effect linear regression models. Quality of life measures improved compared to baseline, accompanied by increased gait speed and cadence. Sagittal-plane hip joint kinetics, kinematics, and spatiotemporal parameters changed throughout the study compared to baseline, in a manner suggesting improvement of gait. The most substantial improvement occurred within 3 months after treatment initiation, after which improvement approximately plateaued, but was sustained at 12 months. Speed and cadence, as well as several sagittal-plane gait parameters, were significant predictors of improvement in quality of life. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Evidence suggests that a biomechanical gait therapy program improves subjective and objective outcomes measures and is a valid treatment option for hip osteoarthritis. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the rising number of total hip arthroplasties (THAs) each year, it is increasingly important for surgeons to have evidence-based information on which to determine how often patients should be examined postoperatively. The purpose of this research was to determine whether it is possible to identify - based on Harris Hip Score (HHS) - early signs or predictors of THA failure so that methods of postoperative follow-up can be scheduled in advance of the time frame indicated by those predictors of failure. METHODS The HHS of 9,949 primary THAs performed from 1973 to 2012 was reviewed retrospectively to identify the clinical predictors of failure. 1,131 hips were completely lost to follow-up, leaving 8,331 primary THAs in 6,979 patients. Time to failure was recorded with Kaplan-Meier analysis performed with aseptic loosening or revision of any component as the endpoint. RESULTS Regression analysis revealed that a pain score of 30 or less at any time of follow-up (p<0.0001) was a significant risk and strongly indicative of later failing. A low distance walked score of 5 or less at 6 months (p = 0.0087) and 1 year (p = 0.0167) served as an early predictor of future failure. A lower stairs score of 2 or less was also an early predictor at 1 year (p = 0.0343) and at 3 years (p = 0.0245). A lower limp score of 8 or less was a mid-term predictor at 3 (p = 0.0001), 5 (p = 0.0002), 7 (p = 0.0191) and 10 (0.0028) years postoperative follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Pain, walk, stairs and limp scores are predictive of THA failure. Surgeons with patients who present with these indicators should optimise postoperative follow-ups to alert their patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE A decreased peak hip extension angle in the late stance phase is a major gait abnormality in patients with THA. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between peak hip extension angle during gait and functional impairments such as muscle weakness and the limitation in joint range of motion and to identify the clinical factors influencing peak hip extension angle during gait. METHODS 67 female volunteers with THA were examined. Biomechanical gait analysis was performed to measure peak hip extension angle during gait. Maximal isometric strength of the hip and knee, passive hip extension range of motion, leg length discrepancy, and hip pain were assessed. RESULTS Peak hip extension angle during gait significantly correlated with passive hip extension range of motion (r = 0.259), hip pain (r = -0.264), isometric strengths of the hip musculature (r = 0.278-0.491), and knee extensor (r = 0.386). Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that hip abductor torque (β = 0.355, P = 0.001), hip pain (β = -0.353, P = 0.001), and passive hip extension range of motion (β = 0.258, P = 0.011) were significant contributors to peak hip extension angle during gait (R2 = 0.408). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that THA rehabilitation aimed at improving gait ability should focus on strengthening the hip abductors, controlling hip pain and increasing range of motion of hip extension.

Abstract
Several approaches may be used for hip replacement surgery either in combination with conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) or resurfacing hip arthroplasty (RHA). This study investigates the differences in hip loading during gait one year or more after surgery in three cohorts presenting different surgical procedures, more specific RHA placed using the direct lateral (RHA-DLA, n=8) and posterolateral (RHA-PLA, n=14) approach as well as THA placed using the direct anterior (THA-DAA, n=12) approach. For the DAA and control subjects, hip loading was also evaluated during stair ascent and descent to evaluate whether these motions can better discriminate between patients and controls compared to gait. Musculoskeletal modelling in OpenSim was used to calculate in vivo joint loading. Results showed that for all operated patients, regardless the surgical procedure, hip loading was decreased compared to control subjects, while no differences were found between patient groups. This indicates that THA via DAA results in similar hip loading as a RHA via DLA or PLA. Stair climbing did not result in more distinct differences in hip contact force magnitude between patients and controls, although differences in orientation were more distinct. However, patients after hip surgery did adjust their motion pattern to decrease the magnitude of loading on the hip joint compared to control subjects.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim was to compare the muscle damage and functional outcomes between patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior (49 patients) or a lateral approach (50 patients). METHODS A randomized, controlled, prospective study. The study variables were muscle damage based on post-operative levels of serum markers (citokynes and acute phase reactants) and MRI, and Harris hip score. RESULTS Post-operatively, there were significantly higher mean levels in the lateral group related to interleukin 6 and 8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha up to fourth postoperative day. By MRI at six post-operative months, the fatty atrophy in the gluteus muscles was more in the lateral group, but similar in the other muscles. The mean thickness of the tensor fasciae latae was significantly lower in the anterior group. Functional outcome was similar between groups at three and 12 post-operative months. CONCLUSIONS Muscle damage due to the surgical approach had no influence on functional outcome after three post-operative months. Both anterior and lateral approaches for THA are similarly safe and feasible, so the choice depends only on the preference and experience of the surgeon.

Abstract
We used the Gait Deviation Index (GDI) as method to compare preoperative to postoperative gait changes after uncemented 50 mm (median) large-head and 28/32 mm total hip arthroplasty (THA). We also identified predictors of improvements in GDI. Gait analysis and patient-reported (WOMAC) data were recorded in 35 patients before, 2 and 6-months after treatment. Twenty age-matched adults provided normative gait data. Contrary to our hypothesis, patients who received large-head THA had less improvement in GDI compared with patients who received 28/32 mm THA. The preoperative GDI score was identified as a predictor of postoperative GDI improvement, while WOMAC, age, gender and walking speed were not. This study provides useful information for clinicians and rehabilitation specialists about gait improvement that can be expected after THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lack of consensus continues regarding the benefit of anteriorly based surgical approaches for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of aseptic revision, septic revision, and dislocations for various approaches used in primary THAs from a community-based healthcare organization. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What is the incidence of aseptic revision, septic revision, and dislocation for primary THA in a large community-based healthcare organization? (2) Does the risk of aseptic revision, septic revision, and dislocation vary by THA surgical approach? METHODS The Kaiser Permanente Total Joint Replacement Registry was used to identify primary THAs performed between April 1, 2001 and December 31, 2011. Endpoints were septic revisions, aseptic revisions, and dislocations. The exposure of interest was surgical approach (posterior, anterolateral, direct lateral, direct anterior). Patient, implant, surgeon, and hospital factors were evaluated as possible confounders. Survival analysis was performed with marginal multivariate Cox models. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are reported. A total of 42,438 primary THAs were available for analysis of revision outcomes and 22,237 for dislocation. Median followup was 3 years (interquartile range, 1-5 years). The registry's voluntary participation is 95%. The most commonly used approach was posterior (75%, N = 31,747) followed by anterolateral (10%, N = 4226), direct anterior (4%, N = 1851), and direct lateral (2%, N = 667). RESULTS During the study period 785 hips (2%) were revised for aseptic reasons, 213 (0.5%) for septic reasons, and 276 (1%) experienced a dislocation. The revision rate per 100 years of observation was 0.54 for aseptic revisions, 0.15 for septic revisions, and 0.58 for dislocations. There were no differences in adjusted risk of revision (either septic or aseptic) across the different THA approaches. However, the anterolateral approach (adjusted HR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.13-0.63, p = 0.002) and direct anterior approach (adjusted HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.22-0.87, p = 0.017) had a lower risk of dislocation relative to the posterior approach. There were no differences in any of the outcomes when comparing the direct anterior approach with the anterolateral approach. CONCLUSIONS Anterior and anterolateral surgical approaches had the advantage of a lower risk of dislocation without increasing the risk of early revision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Component malposition in total hip arthroplasty patients has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. However, whether the component alignment influences hip dynamic performance following total hip arthroplasty remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the component alignment and in vivo hip kinematics during gait. METHODS Nineteen unilateral total hip arthroplasty patients received CT scan for creation of 3D hip models. The component alignment between the non-implanted and implanted hips were measured and compared. Three-dimensional hip kinematics for both hips of the total hip arthroplasty patients during gait was quantified using a dual fluoroscopic imaging technique. The differences between the implanted and non-implanted hip kinematics during gait were calculated. A forward stepwise multiple linear regression was performed to evaluate the relationships between the changes in implanted hip kinematics and the differences in component alignment with respect to the non-implanted hips. FINDINGS An average 5.1° (SD 6.5°; range -11.1° to 18.3°) increase in internal rotation was observed in the implanted hip than the contralateral non-implanted hip and significantly correlated with a linear combination of the increase of cup anteversion, cup medial translation and leg lengthening (R=0.81). INTERPRETATION Results suggested that the total hip arthroplasty patients compensated the changes in hip geometry by altering the dynamic movement during gait. Restoration of the native hip geometry, including acetabular cup anteversion, position and leg length could be one of the factors that influence the hip kinematics symmetry in total hip arthroplasty patients during gait.

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that the presence of isolated ankle (A-OA; N=30), knee (K-OA; N=20), or hip (H-OA; N=30) osteoarthritis (OA) compared to asymptomatic controls (N=15) would lead to mechanical changes in the affected joint but also in all other lower limb joints and gait overall. Stride length, stance and swing times, as well as joint angles and moments at the hip, knee, and ankle were derived from 3-D kinematic and kinetic data collected from seven self-selected speed walking trial. Values were compared across groups using a 1×4 ANCOVA, covarying for walking speed. With walking speed controlled, the results indicated a reduction in hip and knee extension and ankle plantar flexion in accordance with the joint affected. In addition, OA in one joint had strong effects on other joints. In both H-OA and K-OA groups the hip never passed into extension, and A-OA subjects significantly changed hip kinematics to compensate for lack of plantar flexion. Finally, OA in any joint led to lower peak vertical forces as well as extension and plantar flexion moments compared to controls. The presence of end-stage OA at various lower extremity joints results in compensatory gait mechanics that cause movement alterations throughout the lower extremity. This work reinforces our understanding of the complex interaction of joints of the lower limb and the importance of focusing on the mechanics of the entire lower limb when considering gait disability and potential interventions in patients with isolated OA.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Longitudinal laboratory study. OBJECTIVES (1) To compare gait characteristics between individuals with early-stage hip osteoarthritis who underwent total hip replacement (THR) and those who did not undergo THR, and (2) to evaluate whether gait characteristics, function, and symptoms declined among individuals who did not undergo THR during a 6- to 7-year follow-up. BACKGROUND The natural history of symptoms, function, and gait changes secondary to hip osteoarthritis, including potential differences at an early stage of disease, is unknown. METHODS Forty-three individuals (mean age, 58.9 years) with radiographic and symptomatic hip osteoarthritis participated. Outcome measures included 3-D gait analysis; self-reported pain, stiffness, and function; hip range of motion; and the six-minute walk test. Baseline comparisons between individuals who later underwent THR and those who did not undergo THR were made using independent t tests or Mann-Whitney U tests. Comparisons of baseline measures and 6- to 7-year follow-up for the nonoperated individuals were conducted with paired-samples t tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (P<.05). RESULTS Twelve (27.9%) of the 43 individuals initially evaluated had not undergone THR at the 6- to 7-year follow-up. At baseline, these individuals had larger sagittal plane hip and knee joint excursions, larger joint space width, lower body mass index, and superior self-reported function compared with the individuals who later underwent THR. At the 6- to 7-year follow-up, the individuals who did not undergo THR exhibited no decline in gait characteristics, minimum joint space, or overall function. Furthermore, their self-reported pain had significantly decreased (P = .024). CONCLUSION Individuals who did not undergo THR during a 6- to 7-year follow-up period did not exhibit a decline in gait, function, or symptoms compared to those who underwent THR. These findings are suggestive of a phenotype of hip osteoarthritis with a very slow disease progression, particularly in regard to pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognosis, level 1b.

The use of the Gait Deviation Index for the evaluation of participants following total hip arthroplasty: An explorative randomized trial. Gait Posture 2015; 42:36-41. [PMID: 25957650 DOI: 10.1016/j.gaitpost.2015.02.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2014] [Revised: 01/23/2015] [Accepted: 02/21/2015] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this paper, the Gait Deviation Index (GDI) was used as a convenient method to evaluate pre-to-postoperative gait pattern changes after total hip arthroplasty and identify factors which might be predictive of outcome. DESIGN Three-dimensional gait data from a randomized clinical trial was used to determine changes in gait quality in participants walking at self-selected speed. Upon completion of the first assessment, the participants were randomly assigned to either resurfacing hip arthroplasty or conventional hip arthroplasty. The outcome was changes in overall gait 'quality' measured with GDI during the 6-month post-surgery follow-up period. RESULTS 38 participants with severe unilateral primary hip osteoarthritis took part in the trial. We found no difference in change scores between the two treatment groups; 1.9 [95%CI: -0.3 to 4.0] or between change scores for the non-operated and the operated limbs; 0.3 [95%CI: -2.3 to 1.7]. However, the score for the two groups (pooled data) improved after surgery by 4.4 [95%CI: 1.8-7.0]. The single level regression analysis identified the preoperative GDI score as a strong predictor of outcome (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Six months after surgery, there was no additional effect of resurfacing hip arthroplasty on GDI scores compared with conventional hip arthroplasty. Participants with the most pathological preoperative gait pattern improved the most. The GDI increased, which indicates an overall improvement in gait pathology after surgery. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01229293.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty is the standard treatment to reduce pain and improve function in people with advanced hip osteoarthritis; however, persisting asymmetrical gait patterns have been identified in level walking. Therefore, this study evaluated limb asymmetries during stair ascent and descent in patients pre-operatively through 1 year after a hip replacement. It was hypothesized that lower extremity mechanics would improve on the surgical side, but asymmetries would persist through one year. METHODS Kinematics and kinetics were collected during seven ascending and descending trials pre-operatively, 6 weeks, and 1 year post-operatively for 42 hip replacement patients. Data were analyzed using 2 ∗ 3 (Limb ∗ Time) within-subject repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) to determine significant differences between limbs across time (P<.05). FINDINGS Significant changes across time, independent of limb included: peak hip flexion, extension, and adduction during ascent. Peak hip flexion and extension, hip flexion moment, adduction and abduction moments, and propulsive vertical ground reaction force were different during descent (P<.05). Independent of time, significant asymmetries between limbs were observed in peak hip flexion, hip abduction, and hip extension moments during ascent, and in peak hip abduction moment during descent (P<.05). INTERPRETATION Abnormal movement patterns on the surgical side increase demands on other joints and could lead to permanent joint damage. These side-to-side differences in joint mechanics should be addressed during the early post-operative period through additional interventions in an attempt to normalize the differences and potentially improve long-term joint health throughout the lower extremity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often based on surgeon preference and local traditions. The anterior muscle-sparing approach has recently gained popularity in Europe. We tested the hypothesis that patient satisfaction, pain, function, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after THA is not related to the surgical approach. PATIENTS 1,476 patients identified through the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register were sent questionnaires 1-3 years after undergoing THA in the period from January 2008 to June 2010. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) included the hip disability osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-3L), visual analog scales (VAS) addressing pain and satisfaction, and questions about complications. 1,273 patients completed the questionnaires and were included in the analysis. RESULTS Adjusted HOOS scores for pain, other symptoms, activities of daily living (ADL), sport/recreation, and quality of life were significantly worse (p < 0.001 to p = 0.03) for the lateral approach than for the anterior approach and the posterolateral approach (mean differences: 3.2-5.0). These results were related to more patient-reported limping with the lateral approach than with the anterior and posterolateral approaches (25% vs. 12% and 13%, respectively; p < 0.001). INTERPRETATION Patients operated with the lateral approach reported worse outcomes 1-3 years after THA surgery. Self-reported limping occurred twice as often in patients who underwent THA with a lateral approach than in those who underwent THA with an anterior or posterolateral approach. There were no significant differences in patient-reported outcomes after THA between those who underwent THA with a posterolateral approach and those who underwent THA with an anterior approach.

Abstract
Multiple surgical approaches exist for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Each approach has risks and benefits in regard to complications and changes in postoperative gait. This study examined the effect of three surgical approaches on postoperative gait mechanics. Thirty patients completed a self-selected speed level walking gait assessment preoperatively, 6 weeks, and 1 year after surgery. We found no difference between approaches 1 year following surgery for any study variable. Several differences existed between time points independent of surgical approach. Significant improvement was found in sagittal and frontal plane hip ROM, peak hip extension and adduction angle and moment, the functional measures, walking speed, and the Harris Hip Score. This study suggests that postoperative gait changes are similar for the three analyzed surgical approaches.

Abstract
This chapter describes three-dimensional gait analysis and common gait deviations in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, we describe changes in gait deviations following surgical and non-surgical interventions. Gait analysis is used to define gait deviations and to evaluate varying surgical approaches, types of surgeries and non-pharmacologic interventions. Most studies examine gait in adults with knee OA. Limitations of existing studies include small samples, poor selection of controls, sample heterogenecity, lack of baseline gait assessments and inconsistency in measurement. Across studies, time and distance parameters are generally used to provide a global measure of gait deviations. Individuals with RA and OA in the lower extremities exhibit reduced walking speed/cadence and decreased motion and moments in relation to healthy subjects. Future research should include larger sample sizes, the use of proper controls, pre- and post-assessments and identify gait abnormalities early in the disease process to minimise long-term consequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Existent biomechanical studies on hip osteoarthritic gait have primarily focused on the end stage of disease. Consequently, there is no clear consensus on which specific gait parameters are of most relevance for hip osteoarthritis patients with mild to moderate symptoms. The purpose of this study was to explore sagittal plane gait characteristics during the stance phase of gait in hip osteoarthritis patients not eligible for hip replacement surgery. First, compared to healthy controls, and second, when categorized into two subgroups of radiographic severity defined from a minimal joint space of ≤/>2 mm. METHODS Sagittal plane kinematics and kinetics of the hip, knee and ankle joint were calculated for total joint excursion throughout the stance phase, as well as from the specific events initial contact, midstance, peak hip extension and toe-off following 3D gait analysis. In addition, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, passive hip range of motion, and isokinetic muscle strength of hip and knee flexion and extension were included as secondary outcomes. Data were checked for normality and differences evaluated with the independent Student's t-test, Welch's t-test and the independent Mann-Whitney U-test. A binary logistic regression model was used in order to control for velocity in key variables. RESULTS Fourty-eight hip osteoarthritis patients and 22 controls were included in the final material. The patients walked significantly slower than the controls (p=0.002), revealed significantly reduced joint excursions of the hip (p<0.001) and knee (p=0.011), and a reduced hip flexion moment at midstance and peak hip extension (p<0.001). Differences were primarily manifested during the latter 50% of stance, and were persistent when controlling for velocity. Subgroup analyses of patients with minimal joint space ≤/>2 mm suggested that the observed deviations were more pronounced in patients with greater radiographic severity. The biomechanical differences were, however, not reflected in self-reported symptoms or function. CONCLUSIONS Reduced gait velocity, reduced sagittal plane joint excursion, and a reduced hip flexion moment in the late stance phase of gait were found to be evident already in hip osteoarthritis patients with mild to moderate symptoms, not eligible for total hip replacement. Consequently, these variables should be considered as key features in studies regarding hip osteoarthritic gait at all stages of disease. Subgroup analyses of patients with different levels of radiographic OA further generated the hypothesis that the observed characteristics were more pronounced in patients with a minimal joint space ≤2 mm.
