Kinematic variability according to pain and structural disease severity in people with hip osteoarthritis

In hip osteoarthritis, pain may limit kinematic variability during gait and thereby concentrate repetitive loads on the hip joint. This exploratory study examined hip kinematic variability according to pain and structural disease severity. We found no evidence to suggest that kinematic variability, as measured in this study differs according to pain or disease severity. Future research should consider coordination variability.
