Background: Lateral and posterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) approaches disrupt muscle function, which could impact gait. The objectives of this study were to compare muscle activation and joint mechanics during gait, and isometric strength between participants after lateral and posterior THA approaches and healthy adults.
Methods: Participants 1 year post-THA from either lateral (n = 21) or posterior (n = 21) approaches, and healthy adults (n = 21) ambulated at self-selected speeds.
