Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can cause pain, restricted locomotor activity and functional impairments but it remains difficult to predict functional decline over time.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to identify functional decline trajectories in people with hip OA using the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) domains and to determine radiological and gait predictors of typical trajectories.
Methods: Consecutive people with hip OA with no indication for total hip replacement at baseline were included.
Introduction: Despite their exponential use, intra-articular (IA) injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are not part of the recommended treatments for knee osteoarthritis (OA) by most international scientific societies. The most recent clinical trials have shown conflicting results, and some did not find any clinical benefit of PRP injections. The PRP In Knee OsteoArthritis (PIKOA) trial was designed to assess the clinical efficacy and structural benefit of IA injections of PRP vs saline solution (placebo) in symptomatic knee OA.

However, to limit X-ray exposure and medical costs, it could be interesting to evaluate the capacity of quantified motion analysis to estimate the 3D modeling of SVA in patients with symptomatic LSS.
Methods: An estimation of the SVA in patients with LSS was performed with 3D motion analysis.
Running is the basis of many sports and has highly beneficial effects on health. To increase the understanding of running, DSPro insoles were developed to collect running parameters during tasks. However, no validation has been carried out for running gait analysis.
