Human walking as a method of locomotion, enabling individuals move from place to place, is completely unique throughout the animal kingdom and strictly specific to species Homo sapiens sapiens [Dungl, 2005]. This study deals with the development of the vertical walking dynamics after hip surgery.
An essential role after the Total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgery is played by rehabilitation and work of the physiotherapist, which lead to improved physical condition of the patient. Most patients experience pain relief and improvement in joint function and mobility after THA.
This study deals with the dynamic analysis of walking in a period of four months after THA surgery, when the patients completed their rehabilitation. Information about the development of vertical reaction force can thus be used to correct the timing of the rehabilitation process after total hip arthroplasty and can help the patient to quickly return to normal life.
