Walking biomechanics before and after radiofrequency denervation during degenerative diseases of the hip joint

The aim of the work was to study the function and parameters of the hip joint in coxarthrosis before and after the application of radiofrequency denervation (RFD) according to a biomechanical study of walking and movements. Under our supervision, there were 121 patients aged 26 to 84 years with degenerative diseases of the hip joint who underwent RFD. To assess the intensity of pain before and after treatment, a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used, and 7 patients were examined to record the step cycle time, movement in the hip and knee joints in three mutually perpendicular planes, shock loads when walking. The performance of RFD in the treatment of pain with coxarthrosis according to objective VAS data indicates the effectiveness of the technique used.The results of a biomechanical study of walking and movements in the hip and knee joints show a tendency to improve after treatment in the form of a reduction in the time of the central nervous system, an increase in amplitude, and also allows you to activate the dynamic component of walking.
