Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Total hip arthroplasty
- current access class: original_body_or_pdf_available
- source version note: Version and incomplete-table limitations preserved in evidence notes.
22 recruited, 20 retained after two exclusions; posterior approach; assessments baseline, 6 months, 2 years. Fixed strain-gauge force in N, mean of two 3–5-second efforts, 20-second rest. Bilateral stance 20-cm gap; unilateral rod support; 30-second trials; mean two best of three. Two-year abductor difference 15%; bilateral sway improved especially eyes closed. Preoperative noncompletion confirmed.
Source locator: Patients and methods; Assessment of muscle strength and postural stability; Results Tables 1–4
Limitations: Report uses 20-person analyzed cohort, not initial 22 recruited; clarify only if recruitment denominators required. Substantive original material obtained; this is not proof of original report author access or every table/supplement being inspected.
