U.S., March 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06883591) titled 'Triaxial Accelerometry Study' on March 05.
Brief Summary: This study looks at how physical activity levels are in the long term after hip surgery. Arthritis can make everyday movement difficult, and hip replacement surgeries-such as total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hip resurfacing-help reduce pain and improve function. However, it is not clear how these surgeries affect long-term physical activity.
To learn more, researchers are following up with patients who had one of these surgeries 15 years ago. Participants will wear two small activity-tracking devices (accelerometers): one on their wrist for 10 days and one on their thigh fo...
