Feasibility of personalised hip load modification using real-time biofeedback in hip osteoarthritis: A pilot study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: (i) Compare the feasibility of three load modification strategies to immediately increase hip contact force in people with hip osteoarthritis (OA) using real-time visual biofeedback during walking, and (ii) prospectively evaluate changes in pain and physical function following 6-weeks of walking using a prescribed personalised load modification strategy. Design: Twenty participants with symptomatic mild-to-moderate hip OA walked on an instrumented treadmill while motion capture and electromyographic data were recorded (normal walk), then under three conditions: (i)neutral trunk lean; (ii)neutral pelvic obliquity; (iii)increased step length. The biomechanical parameter of interest and corresponding target value were displayed in real-time. Hip contact forces were subsequently computed using a calibrated electromyography-informed neuromusculoskeletal model. A decision tree was used to prescribe a personalised load modification strategy to each participant for integration into walking over 6-weeks. Results: Only the step length modification significantly increased peak hip contact force compared to normal walking when performed by all participants (11.34 [95%CI 4.54,18.13]%, P < 0.01). After participants were prescribed a personalised load modification strategy, both neutral pelvis (n = 5, 11.88[95%CI -0.49,24.24]%) and step length (n = 10, 12.79[95%CI 0.49,25.09]%) subgroups increased peak hip contact force >10%. After 6-weeks, 77% and 46% of participants reported a clinically important improvement in hip pain during walking and physical function, respectively. Conclusion: Most participants with hip OA could immediately increase hip contact force through personalised movement retraining by a magnitude estimated to promote cartilage heath and reported an improvement in symptoms after 6-weeks. Findings provide preliminary support for a personalised load modification-based intervention for hip OA.
