| Popis: | The Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the SF-36 are used to assess subjective outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although these indices have been validated, neither the WOMAC nor the SF-36 has been tested for accuracy against objective data in this clinical setting. Thirty osteoarthritic patients undergoing elective primary THA were subjectively evaluated preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively with the WOMAC and the SF-36 and objectively evaluated at the same interval with basic stride analysis and the 6-minute walk test. Correlation analysis of the subjective and objective data (both perioperative improvement and postoperative absolute scores) yielded Pearson coefficients of r = 0.50-0.81. This work demonstrates a sound statistical relationship between walking ability and the functional aspects of the WOMAC and the SF-36, supporting the use of these instruments in assessing the functional outcome after THA. |
