“…Furthermore, functional recovery did not always improve based on pre-THA values, suggesting that recovery of both ipsilateral loading and WBS is also pre-THA-dependent. Although insoles are not yet broadly used to quantify functional outcomes, such as in the THA cohort presented here, our findings support the general capability to quantify functional recovery during ADLs similar to those in other cohorts ( Pfeufer et al, 2019a ; Pfeufer et al, 2019b ; Pfeufer et al, 2020a ; Pfeufer et al, 2020b ; Renner and Queen, 2021 ). Such instrumented insoles appear to be a suitable technology for more accessible functional research in clinical environments.…”

“…Ipsilateral loading and WBS data were collected using measurements of the normal force (NF) between the entire foot and the shoe via instrumented insoles ( loadsol , Novel GmbH, Munich, Germany, f = 100 Hz), with data transmission via Bluetooth to a smartphone. These measurements have been validated against vGRF data during walking ( Burns et al, 2019 ; Renner et al, 2019 ; Renner and Queen, 2021 ) and sports activities ( Peebles et al, 2018 ; Seiberl et al, 2018 ; Burns et al, 2019 ) in multiple populations ( Loiret et al, 2019 ; Renner and Queen, 2021 ). For the healthy control group, the non-dominant limb (dominant limb selected as the limb used to kick a ball) was selected as a comparison to the ipsilateral limb in THA patients.…”

This study aimed to characterize ipsilateral loading and return to weight-bearing symmetry (WBS) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) during activities of daily living (ADLs) using instrumented insoles. A prospective study in 25 THA patients was performed, which included controlled pre- and postoperative follow-ups in a single rehabilitation center of an orthopedic department. Ipsilateral loading and WBS of ADLs were measured with insoles in THA patients and in a healthy control group of 25 participants. Measurements in the THA group were performed at 4 different visits: a week pre-THA, within a week post-THA, 3–6 weeks post-THA, and 6–12 weeks post-THA, whereas the healthy control group was measured once. ADLs included standing comfortably, standing evenly, walking, and sit-to-stand-to-sit (StS) transitions. All ADLs were analyzed using discrete methods, and walking included a time-scale analysis to provide temporal insights in the ipsilateral loading and WBS waveforms. THA patients only improved beyond their pre-surgery levels while standing comfortably (ipsilateral loading and WBS, p < 0.05) and during StS transitions (WBS, p < 0.05). Nevertheless, patients improved upon their ipsilateral loading and WBS deficits observed within a week post-surgery across all investigated ADLs. Ipsilateral loading and WBS of THA patients were comparable to healthy participants at 6–12 weeks post-THA, except for ipsilateral loading during walking (p < 0.05) at the initial and terminal double-leg support period of the stance phase. Taken together, insole measurements allow for the quantification of ipsilateral loading and WBS deficits during ADLs, identifying differences between pre- and postoperative periods, and differentiating THA patients from healthy participants. However, post-THA measurements that lack pre-surgery assessments may not be sensitive to identifying patient-specific improvements in ipsilateral loading and WBS. Moreover, StS transitions and earlier follow-up time points should be considered an important clinical metric of biomechanical recovery after THA.

The objective of this project is to produce a review of available and validated technologies suitable for gathering biomechanical and functional research data in patients with osteoarthritis (OA), outside of a traditionally fixed laboratory setting. A scoping review was conducted using defined search terms across three databases (Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, and PEDro), and additional sources of information from grey literature were added. One author carried out an initial title and abstract review, and two authors independently completed full-text screenings. Out of the total 5,164 articles screened, 75 were included based on inclusion criteria covering a range of technologies in articles published from 2015. These were subsequently categorised by technology type, parameters measured, level of remoteness, and a separate table of commercially available systems. The results concluded that from the growing number of available and emerging technologies, there is a well-established range in use and further in development. Of particular note are the wide-ranging available inertial measurement unit systems and the breadth of technology available to record basic gait spatiotemporal measures with highly beneficial and informative functional outputs. With the majority of technologies categorised as suitable for part-remote use, the number of technologies that are usable and fully remote is rare and they usually employ smartphone software to enable this. With many systems being developed for camera-based technology, such technology is likely to increase in usability and availability as computational models are being developed with increased sensitivities to recognise patterns of movement, enabling data collection in the wider environment and reducing costs and creating a better understanding of OA patient biomechanical and functional movement data.

“…However, these technologies are limited to a specific area, and every patient can't monitor their motor activity and related data in everyday life [93]. As a result, we are convinced that wearable sensor-based technology is the preferred measuring tool over instrumented gait labs for detecting and analyzing gait parameters in patients with aberrant gait parameters following knee surgery [94]. Meeting the basic needs of such technology-assisted rehabilitation is a serious concern in everyday life [95].…”

Introduction: This article presents a relevant review of technological interventions used in gait analysis for post-operative knee surgery cases. Gait analysis plays a vital role in the early monitoring and rehabilitation of post-operative instances. The Gait analysis help with early diagnosis and physiotherapy interventions can produce significant results. Thus, reducing the overall cost of treatment and increasing the effect of administered treatment. In the modern era, physiotherapists use different sensors to monitor spatiotemporal parameters. These sensors help assist and enhance the administered physiotherapy. This review paper focuses on sensor-based technological interventions in gait analysis. It emphasizes that technology-assisted rehabilitation, notably sensor-based technologies, motion sensors, and motion analysis software, improves monitoring and functional mobility in knee arthroplasty. Methodology: The systematic search yielded 272 studies, 11 added retrospectively via reference screening of included articles. Following title and abstract screening, we include 53 studies for full-text screening, and ultimately, 20 studies met the review's predetermined eligibility criteria. Two physiotherapists, 'SR' and 'AS,' conducted a thorough search using various electronic databases and screened the eligibility of titles and abstracts. This review included a total of twenty studies. We included all those studies associated with various technological interventions, outcome measures, and study populations. All relevant studies were categorized and tabulated based on the technologies used, the type of device used, and the outcome measure used to monitor and quantify Gait and other mobility impairments. Conclusion: This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the applications of technology-based intervention to monitor and quantify mobility status using assisted gait analysis. There is moderate-quality evidence that technology-assisted rehabilitation, specifically sensor-based technology, motion sensors, and motion analysis software, results in a statistically significant improvement in monitoring and functional mobility in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.
