Gait kinematics of age-stratified hip replacement patients—A large scale, long-term follow-up study

Total hip replacement with a collarless polished cemented anatomic stem: clinical and gait analysis results at ten years follow-up

“…None had patients walking freely in a corridor (without cameras or specific walkways) as in our study. The observed decreases in cadence, stride length, speed and all ROM from five to ten years follow-up in our study are similar to those reported by Bennett et al [20,21]. However, THR patients in our study walked faster and with a greater stride length (Table 5).…”

“…Three studies analysed gait parameters of THR patients at a follow-up of at least ten years (Table 5) [9,20,21]. None had patients walking freely in a corridor (without cameras or specific walkways) as in our study.…”

Short-term Recovery of Balance Control after Total Hip Arthroplasty

“…Consistent with the literature, by 16 weeks postsurgery, patients undergoing THA had an increase in gait velocity and stride length compared with before surgery (Table 4) [3,5,23,24,30,38,43,47]. We observed no major differences between patients and control subjects at 16 weeks postsurgery for these variables, suggesting improved range of motion and/or hip muscle strength after surgery and more efficient leg progression during gait [32].…”

“…and shorter stride length than various control subjects up to 4 years [24,38,43] and even 10 years [3]. Trunk pitch (forward-backward) and roll (side-to-side) have been used to reflect balance control of patients undergoing THA during gait [26].…”

Impact of the method of exposure in total hip arthroplasty on balancing ability in response to sudden unidirectional perturbation in the first six months of the postoperative period

“…Pain is relieved and functional abilities are partly restored by total hip arthroplasty (THA) (Jones et al, 2000;Wylde et al, 2009), but gait patterns are significantly modified during the postoperative period (Bennett et al, 2007(Bennett et al, , 2008Foucher et al, 1998Foucher et al, , 2007Kiss and Illyés, 2012;Mont et al, 2007;Vogt et al, 2003Vogt et al, , 2004. It has been shown in earlier research that at half a year and 1 year after THA, the perception of the joint position corresponds to that of healthy subjects (Grigg et al, 1973;Karanjia and Ferguson, 1983).…”
