Objectives

Narrative objectives1

By attaching an accelerometer to the trunk during a walking test, it is possible to capture changes in trunk posture and gait parameters associated with continued walking. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of gait in patients with hip osteoarthritis by comparing them with healthy, ambulatory individuals.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

The presence or absence of changes in gait is evaluated by analyzing acceleration data.

Results

The timed-up-and-go test time and acceleration during 180-degree turns were compared across groups. Timed-up-and-go test time increased significantly, and the HOOS score decreased with hip osteoarthritis progression. Acceleration data during turning, particularly the mean squared deviation and root mean square values, showed distinct gait patterns at each stage, suggesting cautious turning movements in early and severe hip osteoarthritis, and compensatory movements in moderate hip osteoarthritis.

Plan to share IPD

Identifiable personal details, such as IDs and names, are removed and replaced with non-identifying reference numbers to ensure that individuals cannot be directly identified before the data are used.

IPD sharing Plan description

Identifiable personal details, such as IDs and names, will be removed and replaced with non-identifying reference numbers to ensure that individuals cannot be directly identified prior to data usage. Furthermore, when publishing the findings of this study, no information that could identify the subjects will be included.
Research data from which personal information has been removed will be responsibly stored and managed during the study period inside a locked cabinet. Following the completion of the study, the data will be preserved in a locked shelf in the department office for five years. The retention period shall be five years from the date the completion of the study is reported. After the expiration of the retention period, electronic data will be completely erased from recording media, and paper documents will be destroyed using a shredder. Participating collaborative institutions will similarly strive to protect personal information and will appoint a personal information manager to ensure appropriate management.
