Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to conduct a prospective pilot study to assess the optimal measurements of gait function following THA via both the anterior and the posterolateral approach. This will be measured with three different methods: -Ground reaction forces will be measured during the stance phase of gait with force plates; -Three dimensional (3D) motion analysis will assess the movement of the patients’ body; -muscle activity during gait will be measured with EMG. | — |
