The objective of this study is to analyze subjects having a normal hip and compare the in vivo kinematics to subjects requiring a total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to having a diseased hip and then later post-operative to their implanted hip. Ten subjects will have a normal hip, ten hips will be diseased, requiring a THA and then those ten diseased hips will be re-analyzed at least six months post-operatively after implantation of a THA.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
21
Computer tomography (CT) scan of the hip for creation of bone models.
Fluoroscopy evaluation of the hip during gait (level walking), chair rise, and ramp ascent and descent activities. Sound/vibration data will be collected simultaneously via non-invasive sensors attached to the hip joint.

Magnitude of Hip Separation During Primary Heel Strike
Negative values indicate hip compression, position values indicate hip separation. All "Diseased Hip" subjects were re-analyzed approximately 2 years postoperatively to yield the "Implanted Hip" group.
Time frame: Approximately 2 years postoperatively.
Magnitude of Hip Separation During Contra-lateral Toe Off
Negative values indicate hip compression, position values indicate hip separation. All "Diseased Hip" subjects were re-analyzed approximately 2 years postoperatively to yield the "Implanted Hip" group.
Time frame: Approximately 2 years postoperatively.
