Pre-existing deficits in hip muscle strength in individuals with mild-to-moderate hip OA were accentuated over 12-months, though no changes in symptoms or joint structure were observed. A longer follow-up period is required to establish whether strength deficits drive clinical and structural decline in these patients. Interventions to prevent or slow declines in strength may be relevant in the management of mild-to-moderate hip OA.
