I don't quite understand your reference to "range of motion." I've had hip replacement and have almost the same range as my OEM hip. It's a bit bothersome to turn my foot outward is all but it doesn't keep me from swinging a golf club or riding the Valk. Other than that, I have the same range as before....just no pain when I do something.
PS: I'm 5'10" & around 217-20. Probably have a few years on you as well but not important.
I am 6'4 and have 35" inseam. I've weighed 380lbs down to 275 in a few years. My "Range of motion" statement was referring to my inability to straddle the bike and lift my foot up to the footpeg.
I can't lift my left leg in the sitting position. I do fine on the trike of course. The little Harley is low so I kick straight out on the floorboard with my heal on the end and use toe shift only. V-twinkie is also not as wide. My hip replacement left me feeling better but not good as new. Also, I worked construction for 45 years finishing concrete, laying tile, etc. Both knees are fubar, as well as, my back and other hip. Accept it but sure felt like the X-mas when I wanted a set of Gene Autry cap guns but got socks instead!
