Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of gait velocity on the appearance and detection of pathological gait findings in THR patients compared to elderly subjects without both osteoarthritis of hip and knee joints. No significant differences between the range of motion (ROM) as well as between the temporospatial gait parameters of the THR patients and the healthy control group could be detected at a speed of 2 km/h. At the speed of 4 km/h however there were statistical significant differences regarding stride length, cadence, stride duration and range of motion of the knee joint. By using different gait velocities persisting pathologic gait patterns after total hip arthroplasty can be detected.
