Abstract: This research study investigates the impact of total hip arthroplasty on gait biomechanics in individuals post-surgery. Through gait analysis, spatiotemporal parameters, joint kinematics, and muscle activation patterns were evaluated in patients with total hip arthroplasty compared to healthy controls. Findings reveal significant alterations in movement patterns, suggesting biomechanical adaptations following hip replacement surgery. Understanding these gait changes post-arthroplasty is crucial for optimizing rehabilitation strategies and enhancing functional outcomes in this population.

Keywords: Total hip arthroplasty, gait biomechanics, spatiotemporal parameters, joint kinematics, muscle activation patterns, rehabilitation strategies.
