Disturbances of balance and postural stability are frequent in patients with coxarthrosis due to the damage to the mechanoreceptors, characteristic of arthritic degeneration, and muscular hypotrophy of the affected limb. The aim of the study is to evaluate with adequate instrumentation the alterations of proprioception and postural control in patients with hip osteoarthrosis and the effectiveness of joint reconstruction in improving any deficit.

NONE
Each patient will be evaluated using clinical scales (BBS, HHS, HOOS, SF12) and ''Delos Proprioceptive System'' to assess postural stability and proprioception.

Change from baseline postural stability and proprioception
Improvement of stability, evaluated with Berg Balance Scale, 0=minimum (the worst), 56 = maximum (the best)
Time frame: At baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months from surgery
