How does the variation of the 3D orientation of the acetabulum during walking influence hip kinematics? 

Acetabular cup orientation is crucial for total hip arthroplasty (THA), and its malpositioning could lead to impingement and dislocation [1]. Acetabular cup orientation currently relies on static 3D hip parameters [2] and was shown to be related to changes in pelvic positioning [3]. While pelvic position varies during walking, it is still unknown how dynamic variation of hip orientation during gait could influence hip kinematics
