Hip Abductor Strength and Lower Limb Load on Nonoperating Predict Functional Mobility in Women Patients With Total Hip Arthroplasty

Conclusions

This study revealed that patients with preoperative hip abductor strength of greater than 0.66 Nm/kg and lower limb load of greater than 8.97 N/kg on the nonoperative side could achieve better functional mobility at 6 mos postoperatively than healthy women of the same age group.
