Biomechanics of sporting manouvres in hip replacement

bl19622@essex.ac.uk
Hi all,
I am Bernard from the University of Essex.
More than a year ago, I posted an advert looking for participants with a hip/knee replacement in the UK who are participating in high-impact sports. We have collected the data and are in the process of doing a series of analysis.
This is the first part, which we have submitted for peer review to a scientific journal. The image below is an infographic summarising the main findings of the paper. I thought it was useful for the community. The link to the paper can be found on the QR code. Please note, that the paper is an early preprint version that has not yet been peer reviewed, and may change.
Regards,
Bernard (bl19622@essex.ac.uk)

      Bernard,

      Oh, wonderful! I have been looking forward to reading this paper. Interesting the functional changes that you mentioned which may cause increased prosthesis wear. I will certainly consult a sports physiotherapist before I resume any running, and whilst I have a background in biomechanics (years ago), I will have to go back and study the paper further. Thanks for your follow through!

      Cheers, Gary

      I tried to open the link to the article, but it would not open. I would love to see research following how the biomechanics changes with intensive, sport-directed physical therapy. My surgeon only now prescribed PT after I requested it, and I am 12 and 14 months out from bilateral procedures. Only 50% of surgeons in the U.S. prescribe post-op P.T., so no wonder there is a high rate of muscle imbalances 1-2 years out. I haven’t tried running yet, and I can feel instability with certain movements/positions. Cheers, Gary
