Abstract
Objective: To identify progressive biomechanical changes in temporospatial, kinematic, and kinetic parameters of the non-affected limb during gait in individuals with mild-to-moderate unilateral hip osteoarthritis over 12 months.
Design: Prospective case-control study.
Methods: 12 participants with mild-to-moderate unilateral hip osteoarthritis and 12 healthy controls underwent gait analysis twice, 12 months apart. Both time and group effects on the biomechanical variables in the non-affected limb of hip osteoarthritis were compared.
Results: At 12-month follow-up, the non-affected limb of the hip osteoarthritis group exhibited increased double limb support time (p=0.048, Cohen’s d=0.64) and reduced knee flexion during swing (p=0.034; Cohen’s d=−0.70). Compared to the controls, the hip osteoarthritis group exhibited reduced gait speed at 12-month follow-up (p=0.009; Cohen’s d=−1.19), knee adduction moment at baseline (p=0.013; Cohen’s d=−1.10) and 12-month follow-up (p=0.005; Cohen’s d=−1.27), and an increase in double limb support time at 12-month follow-up (p=0.013; Cohen’s d=1.11).
Conclusions: Biomechanical deviations during walking, such as temporospatial and kinematic parameters of the non-affected limb, may indicate compensatory strategies in individuals with unilateral hip osteoarthritis.
