Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between gait and fat infiltration in anterior and posterior gluteus minimus in the patients with hip osteoarthritis. METHODS Ninety-one female patients who were diagnosed as the unilateral hip osteoarthritis, classified into Kellgren-Lawrence global scoring system grades 3 or 4, and candidate for total hip arthroplasty were retrospectively reviewed. The horizontally cross-sectional regions of interest for the gluteus medius and anterior and posterior gluteus minimus were manually circumscribed in a single transaxial computed tomography image and muscle density of those regions were obtained. The gait was assessed as the step and speed with the 10-Meter Walk Test. The multiple regression analysis was used to compare the step and speed with age, height, range of motion in flexion, the muscle density of anterior gluteus minimus in the affected side, and that of gluteus medius muscle in both affected and unaffected sides. FINDINGS Multiple regression analysis for step revealed that the muscle density of anterior gluteus minimus in the affected side and height were the independent predictors for step (R2 = 0.389, p < 0.001). That for speed identified the muscle density of anterior gluteus minimus in the affected side as the only factor determining speed (R2 = 0.287, p < 0.001). INTERPRETATION The fatty infiltration of anterior gluteus minimus muscle in affected side can be a predictor for the gait in in female with unilateral hip osteoarthritis and candidates for total hip arthroplasty.

J Biomech 2023; 147:111452. [PMID: 36682212 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2023.111452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
Tracking hip and thigh axial rotation has limited accuracy due to the large soft tissue artifact. We proposed a tracking-markers cluster anchored to the prominent distal part of the iliotibial band (ITB) to improve thigh tracking. We investigated if the ITB cluster improves accuracy compared with a traditionally used thigh cluster. We also compared the hip kinematics obtained with these clusters during walking and step-down. Hip and thigh kinematics were assessed during a task of active internal-external rotation with the knee extended, in which the shank rotation is a reference due to smaller soft-tissue artifact. Errors of the hip and thigh axial rotations obtained with the thigh clusters compared to the shank cluster were computed as root-mean-square errors, which were compared by paired t-tests. The angular waveforms of this task were compared using the statistical parametric mapping (SPM). Additionally, the hip waveforms in all planes obtained with the thigh clusters were compared during walking and step-down, using Coefficients of Multiple Correlation (CMC) and SPM (α = 0.05 for all analyses). The ITB cluster errors were approximately 25 % smaller than the traditional cluster error (p < 0.001). ITB cluster errors were smaller at external rotation angles while the traditional cluster error was smaller at internal rotation angles (p < 0.001), although the clusters' waveforms were not significantly different (p ≥ 0.005). During walking and step-down, both clusters provided similar hip kinematics (CMC ≥ 0.75), but differences were observed in parts of the cycles (p ≤ 0.04). The findings suggest that the ITB cluster may be used in studies focused on hip axial rotation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip and groin related pain is a common complaint among the military population across UK Defence Rehabilitation and addressing associated biomechanical dysfunction is a key treatment goal. Personnel are exposed to complex occupational loads, therefore assessing movement during demanding tasks may expose biomechanical deficits. Observing biomechanical and clinical outcomes in response to treatment is therefore an important consideration. The aims were to examine clinical and biomechanical outcomes prior to (T1) and 12 weeks post (T2) inpatient rehabilitation and explore the influence of pathological subgroup. METHODS Prospective cohort study as part of a clinical service evaluation of 25 patients undergoing treatment for hip and groin related pain. Three-dimensional motion capture (3DM) during a single-leg squat, hip strength and patient-reported outcome measures were collected at T1 and T2. RESULTS Increased abductor and external rotator strength with reductions in contralateral pelvic drop (1.9°; p=0.041) at T2 on the injured side. Pain reduced by 9.6 mm (p=0.017) but no differences were found for Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS). No statistically significant differences were found between pathological subgroups. Kinematic profiles display variation between diagnostic subgroups and response to treatment. CONCLUSION Strength and pain improved with treatment in this service evaluation although biomechanical adaptation and NAHS remain inconclusive. Small and uneven sample size prevents a firm conclusion regarding the effect of pathological subgroupings, however, the data can be considered hypothesis generating for future, larger studies to integrate 3DM for monitoring response to rehabilitation in pathological subgroups to support clinical decision making.

Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2020; 80:105176.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gluteal-tendon repair is reported to be effective for relieving pain and improving function in patients with gluteal-tendon tears. However, post-operative three-dimensional gait analysis has never been conducted in gluteal-tendon repair patients. Thus, our primary aim was to investigate how biomechanical gait parameters differ between age- and sex-matched participants with and without gluteal-tendon repair. METHODS Vicon motion analysis technology was used to measure gait characteristics of 25 gluteal-tendon repair participants and 29 matched healthy comparison group participants. A generalised linear multivariate model was used to compare external hip-adduction moment, range of movement in hip adduction and internal rotation, pelvic obliquity, trunk lean, stride length and velocity of both cohorts throughout stance. FINDINGS There were no differences between the groups in external hip adduction moment, pelvic obliquity and range of movement in hip adduction and internal rotation. Gluteal-tendon repair participants had a shorter stride length (P = 0.031) and reduced walking velocity (P = 0.015). Ipsilateral trunk lean was reduced in gluteal-tendon repair participants at the first-peak external hip-adduction moment (P = 0.016), mid-stance minimum external hip-adduction moment (P = 0.029) and second-peak external hip-adduction moment (P = 0.006). INTERPRETATION There were no differences between the gluteal-tendon repair and comparison groups for external hip-adduction moment and pelvic obliquity. This suggests that gluteal-tendon repair may restore hip control in stance. Slower walking speed, reduced stride length and decreased ipsilateral trunk lean may reflect persistence of pre-operatively developed gait adaptations. Future studies of gait biomechanics before and after gluteal-tendon repair would be needed to substantiate this theory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to establish and compare current physiotherapy management of GTPS in Australia, New Zealand (NZ) and Ireland. DESIGN Cross-sectional observational survey of physiotherapists. METHODS An online survey was distributed to registered musculoskeletal physiotherapists in Australia, NZ and Ireland. Ordinal and nominal data were analysed using frequency counts or mean ranks; median and interquartile ranges were calculated for numerical data. Inter-country comparisons were made using Chi-squared analyses for nominal/ordinal data and Kruskal-Wallis tests for numerical data. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. RESULTS/FINDINGS Valid responses were received from 361 physiotherapists, 61% were female and 80% worked in private practice. Overall, consistency in treatment of GTPS was observed across the three countries. All physiotherapists used education and exercise (most commonly strengthening and neuromuscular control) primarily targeting the gluteal muscles. Other interventions included massage (90%), stretching (53%), range of motion (40%), thermal modalities (50%), taping (38%) and electrotherapy (25%), whilst 40% commonly recommended up to 2 to 3 corticosteroid injections per patient/per annum. Physiotherapists used pain severity scales as their primary outcome measure (79%). Single leg stance was the most common physical measure used (68%), and global rating scores or standardised physical measures were less commonly used. CONCLUSION This international survey established the physiotherapy management of GTPS. Education used in conjunction with exercise is in line with current evidence, but a proportion of clinicians use adjunct treatments without clear rationale or supporting evidence. Results indicate the need to further define optimal management of GTPS using robust methodologies such as randomised controlled trials.

Abstract
Over the past decade, understanding of disorders compromising greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) has increased dramatically. Nonsurgical treatment options include physical rehabilitation and activity modification, anti-inflammatory as well as biologic injections into the peritrochanteric compartment, and administration of oral analgesics. Multiple open and endoscopic treatment options exist when nonsurgical management is unsuccessful in patients with refractory lateral-sided hip pain, with or without weakness. No true consensus exists within the literature regarding operative techniques of GTPS or postoperative rehabilitation protocols. We present an endoscopic classification system of GTPS with 5 distinct types, which seems to correlate well with preoperative diagnoses and postoperative rehabilitation protocols. The classification system is intuitive, and the corresponding surgical techniques are reproducible for surgeons treating peritrochanteric pathology. Level of Evidence: I (hip); II (extra-articular, impingement).

Abstract
Our aim was to assess three-dimensional kinematic motion analysis as an objective diagnostic tool for the characterization of the movement disorder of Shivers in horses. Kinematic parameters were measured in three horses with Shivers and were compared with a control group of four normal horses. Multiple parameter differences were found in the horses with Shivers at the walk, during backing, and when asked to pick up their hindlimbs. Most significant changes were a wider hindlimb stance of 0.39 ± 0.15 m and increased abduction angle of 48.7 ± 7.52° and hoof elevation (0.77 ± 0.08 m left and 0.94 ± 0.11 m right) when the horses were asked to pick up their hindlimbs. Control horses could back easily in a straight line and with symmetrical hoof separation and could maintain their center of weight when picking up their hindlimbs. In contrast, the horses with Shivers had difficulty backing straight, were slower, with a shorter stride and asymmetric hoof separation. They could not maintain their center of balance when picking up their hindlimbs. The findings of this pilot study advance the understanding of the movement disorder of Shivers and could be used as outcome measures to evaluate treatment modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant cause of disability, with hip pain and reduced external hip moments during walking being key features of the condition. The external hip adduction moment is greater in healthy women than men, however these between-sex differences are not evident in those with end-stage hip OA. Whether sex-specific hip kinetics are associated with early-midstage hip OA has not been investigated and may be a potential target for directed treatment. METHODS Thirty-eight women and twenty-eight men with a diagnosis of symptomatic, unilateral, mild-to-moderate hip OA (Kellegren-Lawrence Grade 2 or 3) underwent three-dimensional gait analysis of normal walking gait using Vicon motion capture. Hip joint, trunk and pelvic angles and hip moments were calculated using the Plug-in-Gait model. The external peak flexion moment, and the first peak, second peak and mid-stance minimum of the hip adduction moment during the stance phase of walking as well as hip, trunk and pelvic kinematics occurring at the three moment time points were compared between groups using an analysis of covariance. RESULTS Women with hip OA exhibited a greater external hip adduction moment (mean difference 0.8-1.3 N m/BW.Ht(%), P < 0.05) and greater hip adduction angles (mean difference 2.8-4.9 degrees, P < 0.05) throughout stance than men. Men walked with a greater forward trunk lean than women during early to midstance (mean difference 2.9-3.5 degrees, P < 0.05) than women. SIGNIFICANCE In contrastto late stage hip OA, between-sex difference in hip joint kinematics and kinetics are preserved in early-midstage hip OA.
