Abstract
PURPOSE Interest in bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been increasing over the past decade. This study aims to compare postoperative local and systemic complications, hospital readmissions, and satisfaction assessment in patients undergoing simultaneous versus staged bilateral THA. METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted among patients who underwent simultaneous or staged bilateral THA between 2017 and 2020. Data on perioperative parameters, local and systemic complications, and 30-day hospital readmissions were collected. Patient satisfaction was assessed using Forgotten Joint Score (FJS). The comparison of continuous variables with normal distribution of variance was performed by ANOVA; for variables with abnormal distribution, the nonparametric test Mann-Whitney U was adopted. The distribution of dichotomous variables was analyzed by chi-square test, and statistical significance was calculated by Fisher exact test. RESULTS The study included 199 patients, of whom 156 underwent staged and 43 simultaneous bilateral THA. A total of 44 patients developed complications (21 systemics, 12 locals, and 20 postoperative anemia). There were no significant differences regarding local (simultaneous 5% vs. staged 6%; p = 0.999) or systemic complications (simultaneous 14% vs. staged 10%; p = 0.408). Only the incidence of postoperative anemia was significantly higher in simultaneous group compared with staged group (p = 0.003). There were no significant differences in FJS between the two groups (p = 0.258). CONCLUSION No differences in local or systemic complications nor readmission rates were observed following simultaneous or staged bilateral THA. Simultaneous bilateral THA is non-inferior to staged implants in terms of safety and patient satisfaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different interventions are used during rehabilitation after hip replacement surgery, but it is unclear if task-oriented exercise is more effective than conventional physiotherapy. OBJECTIVE This study compared the effectiveness of conventional physiotherapy (CPT) programme with task-oriented exercise (TOE) on hip pain, function, static and dynamic balance during the early rehabilitation stage after total hip replacement. METHODS This randomized controlled parallel-group trial was executed in an inpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation centre. The study included 40 patients who were randomly classified into CPT and TOE groups (n= 20 in each). Hip pain (assessed by visual analogue scale), function in the operated leg (assessed by modified Harris Hip Score, mHHS), static balance (assessed by Abili Balance analyser system) and dynamic balance (assessed by Berg Balance Scale) were evaluated at baseline and after 18 days of rehabilitation. Cohen's effect size (d) was calculated. RESULTS Greater pain reduction (p< 0.05; d= 0.08) was observed after TOE (1.6 ± 0.68 scores) compared with the CPT programme (2.2 ± 0.83 scores). Hip function assessed by the modified mHHS improved more (p< 0.05; d= 0.30) in the TOE group (73.45 ± 6.23 scores) than in the CPT group (54.90 ± 6.28 scores). Static balance improved significantly in both groups after the interventions but did not differ significantly between the groups. The improvement in dynamic balance was significantly greater (p< 0.05; d= 0.45) after TOE (50.55 ± 1.57 scores) than after CPT (38.55 ± 3.43 scores). CONCLUSION Both interventions reduced pain and improved function of the operated leg and static and dynamic balance. The effect on hip function was superior for TOE compared with CPT.

Balance Remains Impaired after Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Best Evidence Synthesis. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12030684. [PMID: 35328237 PMCID: PMC8946928 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12030684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Hip arthroplasty (HA) is the most common intervention for joint replacement, but there is no consensus in the literature on the real influence of this procedure on balance, or on what factors in the pre-operative, surgical, and post-operative stages may affect it. Purpose: To synthesize the evidence on how Hip Arthroplasty (HA) affects balance, identifying pre-operative, surgical, and postoperative risk factors that may impair balance in HA patients, with the aim to improve patients’ management strategies. Methods: A literature search was performed on PubMed, PeDRO, and Cochrane Collaboration on 25 May 2021. Inclusion criteria: clinical report of any level of evidence; written in English; with no time limitation; about balance changes in hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing HA and related factors. Results: 27 papers (391 patients) were included. Overall, the evidence suggested that balance is impaired immediately after surgery and, 4–12 months after surgery, it becomes better than preoperatively, although without reaching the level of healthy subjects. A strong level of evidence was found for hip resurfacing resulting in better balance restoration than total HA (THA), and for strength and ROM exercises after surgery positively influencing balance. Conclusion: Both the surgical technique and the post-operative protocols are key factors influencing balance; thus, they should be carefully evaluated when managing hip OA in patients undergoing HA. Moreover, balance at 4–12 months after surgery is better than preoperatively, although without reaching the level of the healthy population. Attention should be paid in the early post-operative phase, when balance may be impaired in patients undergoing HA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postural sway during quiet standing has been shown as a useful task to assess risk of falling in older adults. While the risk of falling is consistently reported to be higher in older females than males, the sex-related differences in postural sway are not consistent across the studies. RESEARCH QUESTION What are the effects of age and sex on postural sway during quiet standing during different stance conditions? METHODS We examined the effects of age (40 young and 34 older adults), sex (37 males and 37 females), and their interaction on the postural sway during different stance conditions. We compared the center of pressure (CoP) velocity, amplitude and frequency during parallel (eyes open and eyes closed) and semi-tandem (eyes open) stances. RESULTS Our results suggest that postural sway is similar between sexes in young participants, while older males exhibit larger postural sway than older female participants (10/21 outcomes). Older female participants exhibited lower CoP amplitude (but larger total and anterior-posterior CoP velocity) compared to young female participants. We also found that the increase in the postural sway with increasing task difficulty is more pronounced in older vs. young adults. SIGNIFICANCE This study shows that ageing-related changes in postural sway are sex- and task-specific. Researchers and clinicians need to be aware of these effects when comparing groups or monitoring changes in time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis and subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA) lead to damages to hip joint mechanoceptors, which in turns lead to impairments in proprioception. One of the abilities mainly affected by an altered joint proprioception is balance. The aim of this work was to investigate the balance and proprioception impairments, current assessment tools, and rehabilitation training after THA. METHODS A systematic literature revision was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane databases. Articles reporting balance and proprioception impairments, current assessment tools, or rehabilitation interventions were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Downs and Black checklist. A total of 41 articles were included, 33 discussing balance and proprioception assessment, and 8 dealing with training. Data related to type of surgical approach, type and timing of assessment protocols, assessment instrumentation, and type, volume and duration of the rehabilitation training were extracted from each study. RESULTS Thirty-one studies were of high quality, 2 of moderate quality and 8 of low-quality. Literature review showed an improvement in balance following THA in comparison with the pre-operative performance, although balance abnormalities persist up to 5 years after surgery, with THA patients showing an increased risk for falls. Balance training is effective in all the rehabilitation phases if specifically structured for balance enhancement and consistent in training volume. It remains unclear which assessments are more appropriate for the different rehabilitation phases, and if differences exist between the different surgical procedures used for THA. Only two studies assessed proprioception. CONCLUSION Balance and proprioception show impairments up to 5 years after THA, increasing the risk of falls. However, patients with THA may benefit of an adequate balance training. Further research is needed to investigate the gaps in balance and proprioception assessment and training following THA surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare postural balance outcomes between soccer players with and without groin pain (GP). DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-four soccer players, 27 with GP (GP group: GPG) and 27 healthy ones (control group: CG). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Static and dynamic postural balance were assessed with a force platform and Y-balance test (Y-BT), respectively. Hip abduction, internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER) and total rotation (TR) of both limbs were evaluated. RESULTS The GPG exhibited significant higher centre of pressure values in the bipedal posture only on the foam surface in eyes opened and closed compared to controls. Besides, they had lower anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral reach distances and composite Y-BT score on the injured limb (IL) compared to non-injured limb (NIL) and dominant-limb (DL) of the CG. Moreover, they showed lower abduction, IR, ER, and TR on the IL compared to NIL and DL. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic unipedal postural balance disorder could be one of the limiting factors of performance in soccer players with non-time loss GP. Hence, postural balance data in these players could enable sport coaches and physical therapists to better understand the mechanisms contributing for performance decrease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective procedure for patients with end-stage hip osteoarthritis. However, whether or not pre-operatively existing functional deficits are persisting several years post-surgery in the affected limb has not been thoroughly researched. Therefore, the primary aim of this preliminary study was to include patients four to five years after undergoing THA and to investigate potential differences between the operated and non-operated leg in hip strength, range of motion (ROM), balance, and gait. The secondary aim was to compare these values from the operated leg of the patients to those of the legs of healthy subjects. METHODS Sixteen patients (age: 65.20 ± 5.32 years) following unilateral THA (post-operation time: 4.7 ± 0.7 years) and ten, healthy, age-matched control subjects (age: 60.85 ± 7.57 years) were examined for maximum isometric hip muscle strength, active ROM of the hip joint, balance and gait on both limbs. Paired t-tests were used to assess the inter-limb differences in the THA group. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to compare groups, using age as a covariate. RESULTS The analysis of inter-limb differences in patients following THA revealed significant deficits on the operated side for hip abduction strength (p = 0.02), for hip flexion ROM (p < 0.01) and for balance in terms of the length of center of pressure (COP) (p = 0.04). Compared to values of the control subjects, the patients demonstrated significantly reduced hip strength in flexion, extension and abduction (p < 0.05) on the operated leg as well as reduced ROM measures in hip flexion, extension and abduction (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The first results of this explorative study indicated that inter-limb differences as well as reduced hip strength and hip ROM compared with control subjects were still present four to five years after THA. These persisting asymmetries and deficits in patients following THA may be one explanation for the decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) seen in patients over the years after surgery. Further studies are required to replicate these findings with a larger sample size. TRIAL REGISTRATION DRKS, DRKS00016945. Registered 12 March 2019 - Retrospectively registered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Little is known about the factors predicting balance in hip fracture patients. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to assess balance before and after inpatient rehabilitation and, secondarily, to identify factors predicting the balance levels in older hip fracture patients after motor rehabilitation. METHODS Data were collected in 124 hip fracture patients over a 2-year period. All patients underwent a standard motor rehabilitation program. A modified version of Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score after rehabilitation, daily gain and percentage of improvement in BBS were the outcome measures. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of balance. RESULTS The mean BBS score was 8.33 ± 7.23 at admission and 21.79 ± 12.15 at the end of rehabilitation (p < 0.001). The daily gain in BBS score was 0.39 ± 0.31 and the percent improvement was 32.28 ± 23.04%. Standing with one foot in front and standing on one foot were the BBS items with the lowest score at discharge and the lowest daily gain and percent improvement. The Cognitive-Functional Independence Measure (cognitive-FIM), hip muscles strength, and Katz index at discharge had moderate-to-strong relationships with final score, daily gain and percentage of improvement in BBS. Cognitive-FIM was a predictor of final BBS score (beta 0.49, p < 0.001), daily gain in BBS (beta 0.34, p < 0.001) and percent improvement in BBS (beta 0.44, p < 0.001). Conversely, hip muscles strength was a predictor of final BBS score (beta 0.32, p = 0.001), and Cumulative Illness Rating Scale severity, a predictor of daily gain in BBS (beta -0.29, p = 0.001). The R2 value of the models were, respectively, 0.39, 0.23, and 0.19. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive function, comorbidities and hip muscles strength are important predictors of balance in hip fracture patients. Knowledge of these specific factors can be useful for physicians to identify patients needing specific rehabilitation programs for balance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Proprioceptive function of the lower limbs deteriorates in patients following total hip arthroplasty. Patients show poor balance and rely more on visual information than proprioceptive information. Plantar vibration stimuli can mechanically enhance somatosensory input from the plantar cutaneous mechanoreceptors, thereby improving static balance. Plantar vibration stimuli may improve static balance in patients after total hip arthroplasty. This is the first study to investigate whether plantar vibration stimuli affects static balance during the early phase following total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-over design study, 16 female patients (aged 65.1 ± 11.0 years) received plantar vibration stimuli for 2 minutes or the sham interventions after total hip arthroplasty in a randomized order on different days. The foot centre of pressure was measured for the total path length, mediolateral path length, and anteroposterior path length directions before and immediately after the interventions in the static standing position both with eyes open and closed. Patients were instructed to minimize body sway when standing. RESULTS A significant increase was observed in the centre of pressure parameters in the eyes closed condition than in the eyes open condition. The centre of pressure parameters for the eyes closed condition was significantly decreased after vibration interventions than that before intervention. CONCLUSIONS This study supports the view that plantar vibration stimuli can change static balance in patients in the early phase after total hip arthroplasty temporarily by up-weighting sensory information. These stimuli may serve as a treatment option for influencing balance following total hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip osteoarthritis is one of the major causes of disability worldwide, and although total hip arthroplasty is considered effective in the management of this condition, its effects on postural balance remain unclear. RESEARCH QUESTION What are the effects of total hip arthroplasty for primary hip osteoarthritis on the postural balance compared to preoperative status and/or to healthy controls?. METHOD A systematic review was conducted, and the Embase, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched. Randomized and non-randomized studies were considered eligible for inclusion. The risk of bias of included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. RESULTS Among the 41 potentially eligible studies, 13 studies were included for qualitative synthesis-8 studies had low risk of bias and 5 had moderate risk of bias. Ten studies compared the effects of total hip arthroplasty on the postural balance in healthy controls. Meanwhile, the remaining 3 studies compared such effects to the preoperative status only. Comparable results on the postural balance between the intervention and control groups were observed in 5 studies, whereas 3 studies showed better scores among healthy controls. The other 2 studies reported that postural balance could still be impaired at 6 months to 3 years postoperatively. All 3 studies with no healthy controls reported an improvement in the postural balance compared to the preoperative status. CONCLUSIONS Major post-surgical improvements were consistently observed compared to preoperative status, although postural balance impairment was still noted compared to healthy controls. SIGNIFICANCE The results of this study might be a useful guide for clinicians on the extent of the therapeutic effects of hip arthroplasty on postural balance. Furthermore, the standardization of balance assessment tools could strengthen the certainty of cumulative evidence in future studies.
