Total hip joint replacement offers dramatic improvement in the quality of life but deep infection is the most feared complication of this procedure. The infection threatens the function of the joint, the preservation of the limb, and occasionally even the life of the patient. For the surgeon it is a disastrous anticlimax, which follows a procedure that may have given the patient freedom from pain and increased mobility.

Comparative assessment of a virtual performance measure with self-report and performance-based outcomes in patients with hip osteoarthritis.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Sunnybrook Research Institute, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Canada.
Background: The purposes of this study were to examine the reliability and factorial and convergent validity of a virtual performance measure (VPM) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint and to compare the known-group validity of the VPM with traditional self-report and performance-based outcomes.
Methods: The VPM score was based on the results of 10 videos showing increasing difficulty in performing specific functional tasks. Patients were requested to choose the video that best reflected their own level of function.
The effect of dual-task training in older adults with total hip arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial.

Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Marmara University, İstanbul, Turkey.
Background: No other study has addressed the effectiveness of dual-task training in the postoperative period of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study investigated the efficacy of dual-task training in older adults with THA.
Methods: Patients were randomized into the control group (CG) (n = 14) and intervention group (IG) (n = 14).
Performance, measurement properties and discriminant analysis of functional tests for women with greater trochanter pain syndrome.
Musculoskelet Sci Pract

Postgraduate Program in Rehabilitation Sciences UEL/UNOPAR, Paraná, Brazil; Department of Physiotherapy at the State University of Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Electronic address:
Introduction: Functional tests are used to establish the functional capacity of women with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). However, the validity, reliability, or possibility of discriminating this dysfunction have not been established.
Objectives: To compare functional capacity, establish the properties of functional test measurements, and present the best test to discriminate between women with and without GTPS.
