Effects of Hip Osteoarthritis on Lower Extremity Joint Contact Forces
People with osteoarthritis (OA) suffer from joint degeneration and pain as well as difficulty performing daily activities. Joint contact forces (JCF) are important for understanding individual joint loading, however, these contact force cannot be directly measured without instrumented implants. …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve muscle weakness in hip osteoarthritis: A feasibility study
… surgery for the treatment of end-stage hip osteoarthritis may be ineffective at producing a level of neuromuscular activation required to induce a muscle strength adaption before and after surgery and therefore innovations are required. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the …

Role of Transverse Plane Hip Range of Motion and Strength on Pain and Function in Hip Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip is a chronic, progressive disease that decreases joint mobility and function and is associated with disability and musculoskeletal pain (Bieler et al., 2017; O’Neill et al., 2018; O’Neill & Felson, 2018; Rydevik et al., 2010). According to the Centers for Disease …

3D Analysis Of The Hip Joint For The Prediction Of Osteoarthritis
Hip osteoarthritis is an increasingly important cause of morbidity in the ageing population causing pain, disability and loss of function through joint failure. It has an estimated lifetime risk of 25%. While the contribution of skeletal morphology to disease is now established, the lack of imaging …

A single systems research design to examine the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment for people with osteoarthritis of the hip
Osteoarthritis (OA) is considered to be one of the leading causes of disability and the most frequent form of arthritis worldwide. There exists a growing body of evidence that manual therapy may be efficacious in reducing pain and improving function in individuals with hip OA. However, no studies …

Hip disorders and osteoarthritis: focus on health-related quality of life, assesssment and intervention
… work were to investigate the consequences of hip disorders and hip osteoarthritis (OA) on health-related quality of life (HRQL) physical function and self-efficacy. The condition, hip OA, is often associated with significant pain and has a strong impact on physical function and quality of …

Localization of Human Pelvis Anatomical Coordinate System Using Ultrasound Registration to Statistical Shape Model
Total Hip Replacement (THR) has become a common surgical procedure in recent years, due to the increase in the aging population with hip osteoarthritis. Identifying the proper orientation of the pelvis is a critical step in accurate placement of the femur prosthesis in the acetabulum in THR. The …

Modeling the Long Term Effects of Alendronate on Bone Mass Preservation of the Femur with Articular Surface and Total Hip Replacements
Calculating femoral bone density changes after hip arthroplasty is of interest to researchers and clinicians for predicting the longevity of the prosthetic implant and the surrounding bone. Recently clinicians have been administering bisphosphonate drugs in an attempt to reduce the bone resorption …

Radiological features of femoroacetabular impingement in patients undergoing hip resurfacing arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis of the hip
Osteoarthritis of the hip is a common condition which in its later stages often requires arthroplasty surgery. The principle operations performed for late stage osteoarthritis are the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) and Total Hip replacement (THR), which require implants that have been through …
