Outline of Final Research Achievements

Kinematics during weight-bearing activities, including gait, chair-rising, squatting, twisting, and golf swing, were analyzed using image-matching techniques for healthy, osteoarthritic, and replaced hips. This study revealed activity dependent kinematics of healthy hips with coordinated pelvic and femoral movements. Osteoarthritic hips showed limited ranges of coordinated motion of the pelvis and femur during each activity, especially in deeply flexed and rotated postures. Correction of acetabular coverage through periacetabular osteotomy did not directly decrease hip range of motion while squatting. In vivo 3D visualization of the clearance between the femoral head-neck junction and the acetabulum could assist surgeons in adequately identifying the location of impingement and confirming sufficient resection post-operatively. Although liner-to-neck contact during golf swing was observed in 27% of replaced hips, dynamic stability without excessive hip rotation was observed in all hips.
