The Recovery of Weight-Bearing Symmetry After Total Hip Arthroplasty Is Activity-Dependent.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how patients recovering from total hip arthroplasty (THA) regain weight-bearing symmetry (WBS) and ipsilateral loading during daily activities, using specialized insoles.
- Measurements were taken at four specific times in the THA group, allowing for a comparison to a control group, showing that significant improvements were noted primarily in standing comfortably and sit-to-stand-to-sit transitions.
- While THA patients reached similar levels of ipsilateral loading and WBS to healthy individuals by 6-12 weeks post-surgery, walking still showed some deficits, indicating the need for pre-operative assessments to fully capture individual recovery progress.
