TABLE 2.
Support used by the study participants across visits during standing comfortably, standing evenly, walking, and StS transitions. Values report the number of participants requiring support to perform each activity.
| Standing comfortably | Standing evenly | Walking | StS transitions | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of participants using support | V1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1 |
| V2 | 17 | 17 | 24 | 20 | |
| V3 | 1 | 1 | 7 | 2 | |
| V4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | |
| Healthy | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
Note: V1 = visit 1 (1 week pre-THA); V2 = visit 2 (1 week post-THA); V3 = visit 3 (3–6 weeks post-THA); V4 = visit 4 (6–12 weeks post-THA). The data reported here refer to the use of two elbow crutches, with the exception of one patient at 1 week pre-THA, and two patients at 3–6 weeks post-THA, which only required a single elbow crutch during walking.
