Abstract
Balance impairments were identified in some measures, limiting the conclusions as to whether balance deficits are a problem in hip OA. Inconsistent findings suggest that balance may not be a primary contributor to increased falls risk in older adults with hip OA. Other factors, such as musculoskeletal deficits, may contribute to higher falls rate in this population.
