Brief Summary
In this study, the spatiotemporal gait parameters of symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) patients scheduled for hip arthroscopy are evaluated. Radiological measurements, including the Alpha angle (AA), Lateral Center-Edge Angle (LCEA), and Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) osteoarthritis classification, are recorded from patient files. The relationship between these radiological measurements and walking parameters is assessed. Additionally, the spatiotemporal gait parameters of FAI patients are compared with those of a healthy control group. Walking assessments provide valuable insights into how Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) affects movement and aid in evaluating treatment outcomes. Research indicates that individuals with FAI experience reduced hip motion and slower walking speeds. By analyzing spatiotemporal gait parameters-such as gait velocity, cadence, step length, and vertical center of mass-the impact of FAI on walking can be better understood, leading to the development of targeted treatment strategies. The goal is to explore the correlation between these gait parameters and imaging-based FAI characteristics in affected individuals.
