Background The popularity of inertial sensors in gait analysis is steadily rising. To date, an application of a wearable inertial sensor system for assessing gait in hip osteoarthritis (OA) has not been reported. Research question: Can the known kinematic differences between patients with hip OA and asymptomatic control subjects be measured using the inertial sensor system RehaGait®? Methods The patients group consisted of 22 patients with unilateral hip OA scheduled for total hip replacement. Forty-five age matched healthy control subjects served as control group. All subjects walked for a distance of 20 m at their self-selected speed. Spatiotemporal parameters and sagittal kinematics at the hip, knee, and ankle including range of motion (ROM) were measured using the RehaGait® system. Results Patients with hip OA walked at a slower walking speed (−0.18 m/s, P < 0.001) and with shorter stride length (−0.16 m, P < 0.001), smaller hip ROM during stance (−11.6°, P < 0.001) and swing (−11.3°, P < 0.001) and smaller knee ROM during terminal stance and swing (−9.0° and−11.5°, P < 0.001). Patients had a smaller hip ROM during stance and swing and smaller knee ROM during terminal stance and swing in the affected compared to the unaffected side (P < 0.001). Significance The differences in spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters between patients with hip OA and age matched control subjects assessed using the inertial sensor system agree with those documented for camera-based systems. Hence, the RehaGait® system can measure gait kinematics characteristic for hip OA, and its use in daily clinical practice is feasible.
