Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, the spatiotemporal gait parameters of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients scheduled for hip arthroscopy are evaluated. Radiological measurements, including the Alpha angle (AA), Lateral Center-Edge Angle (LCEA), and Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) osteoarthritis classification, are recorded from patient files. The relationship between these radiological measurements and walking parameters is assessed. Additionally, the spatiotemporal gait parameters of FAI patients are compared with those of a healthy control group.

Walking assessments provide valuable insights into how Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) affects movement and aid in evaluating treatment outcomes. Research indicates that individuals with FAI experience reduced hip motion and slower walking speeds. By analyzing spatiotemporal gait parameters-such as gait velocity, cadence, step length, and vertical center of mass-the impact of FAI on walking can be better understood, leading to the development of targeted treatment strategies. The goal is to explore the correlation between these gait parameters and imaging-based FAI characteristics in affected individuals.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients and control groups are compared using the paired samples t-test for parametric data and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test for nonparametric data. The relationship between gait parameters and imaging-based FAI characteristics is examined by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) for parametric data and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (rho) for non-parametric data.

Patient with Femoroacetabular Impingement

Symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement patients scheduled for hip arthroscopy

Walking assesment

Intervention Type OTHER

Spatiotemporal walking assessments are performed using the Gait Analyzer app (version 0.9.95.0) on a smartphone. Participants who can walk independently without assistance walk a 25-meter path at their normal speed, with the smartphone securely attached to their body above the third lumbar vertebra using a belt. The app records gait velocity, cadence, step time, step length, and vertical center of mass for all participants.

Healthy indivicuals without Femoroacetabular Impingement
