Gait Characteristics of Fallers and Nonfallers in Female Patients with Unilateral End-Stage Hip Osteoarthritis.

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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesOsteoarthritis of the hip (hip OA) may increase the risk of falls. To decrease fall risk, it is important to assess the gait characteristics of patients with hip OA in detail. This study aimed to investigate the gait characteristics of patients with hip OA caused by falls by simultaneously assessing foot and waist trajectories via an inertial measurement unit (IMU).
methodsThe subjects were 77 patients with hip OA, 17 of whom had fallen in the past year. The physical function, gait parameters, and waist trajectories of the fall and nonfall groups were compared.
resultsCompared with the nonfall group, the fall group was older and had higher fall scores and lower Japan Orthopaedic Association (JOA) hip scores. With respect to gait characteristics, the stride length on the nonaffected side was significantly shorter in the fall group than in the nonfall group. Stride velocity gait asymmetry was also significantly lower in the fall group than in the nonfall group. The amount of lifting of the waist on the affected and nonaffected sides was significantly lower in the falling group than in the nonfalling group.
conclusionsIt was suggested that the fall group might be adapting to stabilization and adjusting to a stable and safe gait pattern because of the effects of falls; new gait characteristics regarding falls in patients with hip OA were found.
