简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Gait velocity
时间窗: Baseline
Gait velocity, also known as walking speed, is a crucial parameter in spatiotemporal gait analysis. It refers to the rate at which an individual walks over a given distance and is typically measured in meters per second (m/s).
Cadence
时间窗: Baseline
Cadence refers to the number of steps a person takes per minute while walking.
Step length
时间窗: Baseline
Step length refers to the distance covered between two consecutive footfalls of opposite feet.
Vertical center of mass
时间窗: Baseline
The vertical center of mass refers to the vertical position of the body's center of mass during walking. It is the point where the body's mass is considered to be concentrated and it fluctuates as the person moves.
