Biomechanics of sporting manouvres in hip replacement

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 th

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

Thank you

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
