The joint contact force, bending moment, and torsion torque on the implant were determined. Time-load patterns were generated. Loading peaks were compared intra-and inter-individually to walking. Statistical parameter mapping was used to visualise significant differences between exercises across the movement cycle.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Loading maxima were mostly lower or adjacent to loading maxima of walking, except for diagonal poling with foot lift. Differences in execution of double poling resulted in different time-load patterns of torsion torque. Diagonal bending moments exceeded walking bending moments slightly. Outliers were observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Double or diagonal poling can be safely practiced by THA patients on a ski simulator in the late postoperative period due to mostly lower or adjacent loading forces to walking. Unilateral standing phases should be minimized. Patient\u2019s experience and bone quality affect recommendation of this sport.
