Analysis of Biomechanical Parameters and Return to Sport After Total Hip Replacement

This prospective study aims to evaluate the dynamic biomechanical parameters of gait in active patients who have undergone total hip replacement (THR), focusing on movements critical for return to sport.

Treatment and study plan

Biomechanical analysis

Procedure

Biomechanical assessment is performed using a set of sensors (Qualisys Sports Marker Set - functional assessment, already in use at the Clinique du Sport) as well as 3D optoelectronic cameras and force and pressure platforms. These sensors are placed at various points on both lower limbs (hip, knee, ankle) and provide data in different planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse), as well as a comparison of both sides.

Primary outcomes

  1. Angular measurements by biomechanical sensors

    Time frame: 6 months after surgery

    Angle measurements at hip, pelvis, knee and ankle in the three planes of space (sagittal, frontal and transverse), measured by biomechanical sensors.

  2. Vertical forces measured by biomechanical sensors

    Time frame: 6 months after surgery

    Vertical forces, push and landing, will be evaluated for each phase of the movements. Biomechanical specific sensors will be used to measure these data
