Table 2 cannot do that either, at least about walking assessment: "Patients were visited monthly in the first three months, and again at 6 and at 12…." Five assessments require a specific statistical analysis, that is, ANOVA for repeated measures [ 9 ].
A consistent measurement will be defined as a walking assessment in which all ten anatomical locations were visible with a numerical value for mpp, msp, pti and ca in both feet and where lateral or medial deviation of the foot off the pressure platform did not occur [ 7].
All patients were video-taped while walking at assessment, re-assessments and discharge.
Subjects were excluded if they presented with any musculoskeletal conditions that prevented exercising and walking test assessments, or terminal illness or other severe disease at the time of enrollment.
This indicates that it may be more important to consider assessments of walking ability than assessments of pain in this population with chronic hip or knee pain.
Thirty patients completed a self-selected speed level walking gait assessment preoperatively, 6 weeks, and 1 year after surgery.
These measurements will include height, walking speed assessment (walking 4 meters unaided), grip strength (Jamar hand dynamometer), body composition analysis using a 4-point bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equipment (TANITA TBF-300A, Tanita, Japan).
