Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that affects approximately 25% of individuals over their lifetime, with prevalence expected to rise due to population aging. Gait analysis is recognized as a valuable tool for understanding the biomechanical impact of OA, providing insights into how patients adapt to pain and dysfunction.
