- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The percentage difference in load of the affected / operated leg compared to<br /><br>the unaffected leg, while walking at 3 km / h, at 4 weeks after the THA. This<br /><br>is determined by dividing the average ground reaction force during the stance<br /><br>phase of the operated leg by the mean ground reaction force during the stance<br /><br>phase of the non-operated leg.<br /><br><br /><br>Primary outcome variable (s):<br /><br>The average ground reaction force (GRF) during the stance phase of the operated<br /><br>leg is divided by the average ground reaction force during the stance phase of<br /><br>the non-operated leg. The average of this is calculated on the number of steps<br /><br>that are run during 1 minute walk at 3 km / h. This primary outcome measure<br /><br>between the two groups is then compared with an unpaired t-test, assuming that<br /><br>the data will be normally distributed. This concerns the differences at the<br /><br>4-week measurement moment.</p><br>
