Ultrasound and CT to Measure Muscle in Hip OA
Withdrawn before enrolling
Conditions studied: Hip Osteoarthritis
In brief
This study will examine alterations in muscle in individuals with hip osteoarthritis compared to individuals without hip arthritis. All individuals will receive imaging of their hip and low back muscles in order to compare differences between groups. The investigators hypothesize that there will be differences between groups and that these differences will be related to strength, functional, and balance impairments which will also be measured in all individuals.

Who can join
Age: 60 and older, up to 85. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Age >=60 and <= 85
- Hip OA group ONLY: Diagnosed unilateral OA of the hip as determined by Kellgren/Lawrence (K/L) or similar grades of 2, 3, or 4 from standard hip series A-P radiographs.
- CONTROL GROUP ONLY: No significant OA of either hip joint as determined by K/L grades or similar of 0 or 1 from standard hip series A-P radiographs.
You may not qualify if…
- BMI>35
- Other significant orthopedic conditions of the hip, pelvis or lumbar spine, including prior trauma or significant surgical procedures (examples: lumbar fusion, fractures with surgical management, hip joint replacement, etc.)
- Diagnosis of any other arthritic conditions other than osteoarthritis (e.g. psoriatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis/spondylosis).
- Any known neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury or any serious medical condition that may affect muscle quality.
- Inability to undergo CT testing for any reason
- Significant cardiovascular conditions that would make the participant unsafe for any testing procedures (for example uncontrolled hypertension (BP>160/100 at rest), uncontrolled arrhythmia, uncontrolled diabetes, etc.)
