Effects of Physiological Loading from Patient-Derived Activities of Daily Living on the Wear of Metal-on-Polymer Total Hip Replacements by Benjamin A. Clegg, Samuel Perry, Enrico De Pieri, Anthony C. Redmond, Stephen J. Ferguson, David E. Lunn, Richard M. Hall, Michael G. Bryant, Nazanin Emami, Andrew R. Beadling

“…To address this gap, this study applied patient-derived ADL profiles—jogging and stair negotiation—using a three-station hip simulator, obtained through 3D motion analysis of total hip arthroplasty patients, processed via a musculoskeletal multibody modelling approach to derive realistic hip contact forces (HCFs). The results indicate that jogging significantly increased wear rates compared to the ISO walking gait waveform, with wear increasing from 15.24 ± 0.55 to 28.68 ± 0.87 mm³/Mc. …”
