- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Measurements will take place preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperative. The main<br /><br>study parameter will be the ground reaction force (GRF) during the stance phase<br /><br>of the patients* gait. These forces give indirect information about the load in<br /><br>the hip joint during gait. Additionally, motion analysis measurements will be<br /><br>performed to assess the movement of the body during gait. Finally,<br /><br>electromyography (EMG) measurements will be performed to measure muscle<br /><br>activity during gait.</p><br>
