Summary

The purpose of this study is to describe the 3D joint biomechanics of the lower extremities of patients having had a total hip replacement or hip resurfacing surgery as compared to a healthy age and weight matched control group during level walking, stair ascent and descent, and entering and exiting the front seat of a car.

Detailed description

Much research has shown that patients are generally satisfied with pain relief in the months and years following a total hip replacement (THR) or hip resurfacing procedure. However, many express dissatisfaction with their ability to perform daily activities, a reduced walking ability and long-term lower extremity muscle weakness. Given the general lack of knowledge surrounding joint motion of the lower extremities in the THR population, there is a need to characterize the joint mechanics of people having undergone THR, so that interventions and rehabilitation strategies can be designed to reduce post-operative complications and improve mobility.
