Abstract :
Background
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a
degenerative disorder brought on by a disruption in the
blood supply to the subchondral region, which in turn
causes the disintegration of cells and eventual
destruction of the femoral head. We decided to design a
pilot study to see if a sphygmomanometer was an
accurate technique to test the muscular strength of the
hip abductors considering no research had measured the
strength of the abductor muscles beforehand or
following surgery.
Methodology
The patients were selected based on the conditions
for inclusion, and a sphygmomanometer was utilised for
assessing each patient's hip abductor muscle strength on
three separate occasions. Three times the readings
were carried out at these intervals to measure the
strength of the abductor muscles in each lower limb. The
average value of each of these instances was used to get
the final measurement. Subsequently, changes in the
mercury's value were noted.
Results
According to the findings, the results stated that the
feasibility of a sphygmomanometer to assess hip
abductors' muscle strength in individuals with femoral
head avascular necrosis was formulated.
Conclusion
The conclusion of this study demonstrates that the
sphygmomanometer is a reliable tool for evaluating hip
abductor muscle strength among people with femoral
head avascular necrosis.
