Coxarthrosis; Primary
Conditions
Brief summary
Disturbances of balance and postural stability are frequent in patients with coxarthrosis due to the damage to the mechanoreceptors, characteristic of arthritic degeneration, and muscular hypotrophy of the affected limb. The aim of the study is to evaluate with adequate instrumentation the alterations of proprioception and postural control in patients with hip osteoarthrosis and the effectiveness of joint reconstruction in improving any deficit.
Interventions
Each patient will be evaluated using clinical scales (BBS, HHS, HOOS, SF12) and ''Delos Proprioceptive System'' to assess postural stability and proprioception.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline postural stability and proprioception | At baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months from surgery | Improvement of stability, evaluated with Berg Balance Scale, 0=minimum (the worst), 56 = maximum (the best) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical improvements | At baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months from surgery | Evaluation of clinical improvements using the Harris Hip Score, 0=minimum (the worst), 100 = maximum (the best) |
| Patient satisfaction | At baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months from surgery | Evaluation of patient satisfaction using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) 0=minimum (the worst), 100 = maximum (the best) |
