The objective of this study is to assess the changes in daily physical activity and gait pattern, following a viscosupplement injection among a population who is suffering from hip osteoarthritis. A kinetic and kinematic gait analysis, an Actigraph activity monitor, a functional Timed-Stair-Test and two questionnaires (Medical Outcome Study Short-Form36 (MOS-SF36), Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)) about how the pathology affects the quality of life, will be use.
