Summary
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition in older adults and it is often associated with pain, stiffness and functional limitations particularly in walking. There is no cure for hip OA and the end result is often a total hip replacement. Knowledge of neuromuscular and biomechanical characteristics of hip OA during walking and any relationships to disease progression will provide a better understanding of risk factors for progression of hip OA. This knowledge may guide future hip OA manageme ....Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition in older adults and it is often associated with pain, stiffness and functional limitations particularly in walking.
