Description

<p>Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the spinal alignment and spinal range of motion in patients with end stage hip osteoarthritis (OA).</p><p>Methods: Eleven patients with end stage OA (OA group) and 16 healthy elderly individuals (control group) were included in this study. The static spinal alignment and dynamic range of motion were measured by the Spinal Mouse® on the standing position and all fours.</p><p>Results: The alignments of the thoracolumbar spine in the standing position were not significantly different between the two groups. A significant decrease in the lumbar spine range of motion was observed in the OA group in the standing and on all fours positions compared to that in the control group, but there was no significant difference in the thoracic spinal range of motion.</p><p>Conclusions: Patients with end stage hip OA showed no differences in static thoracolumbar alignment and reduced dynamic lumbar range of motion compared to those in healthy elderly patients.</p>
