  1. Demographics of patients (n = 46) who underwent LTT testing prior to hip arthroplasty. Scores from pre- and post-revision assessments of pain and function are reported. Differences between reactive patients and non-reactive patients were compared using unpaired two-tailed t tests or Pearson’s chi-squared test where appropriate
