Abstract

Background Life-space mobility is defined as the spatial area where a person moves in daily life, taking into account the distance, frequency, and the assistance needed. Decline in life-space mobility are predictive of later health-related outcomes. Although a previous study has reported an improvement in life-space mobility following total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared to the preoperative levels, the prevalence and characteristics of the declines in life-space mobility after THA remain unknown.
