    Early hip osteoarthritis is linked to sensorimotor impairments and altered pain processing, affecting functional capabilities.

  • 2

    Participants with early hip osteoarthritis showed significantly higher hip repositioning error and postural sway compared to controls.

  • 3

    Lower local pressure pain thresholds were observed in individuals with early hip osteoarthritis compared to asymptomatic controls.

  • 4

    Proprioceptive error was moderately associated with postural sway velocity and inversely related to local pain thresholds.

  • 5

    Proprioceptive error and local pain sensitivity independently predicted balance performance in individuals with early hip osteoarthritis.
