Hip Muscle Strength in FAI Versus Normal Controls
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Hip Muscle Strength in femoro-acetabular impingement participants versus normal controls.
To investigate the hip muscle strength in a normal control group and compare this to patients who have a diagnosis of femoro-acetabular impingement (diagnosed clinically and with confirmed radiological features).

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Control Arm Group Participants aged 18-30, Male and Female (10 participants each). Control group must have normal range of movement and no evidence of femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) on clinical examination (negative impingement test, no symptoms). Other exclusions for Control Group include previous surgery to hip joint/s, history of arthritis, family history of FAI, patients who have had symptoms of hip pain in the preceding 1 year or may have other conditions which may affect the hip joint or hip muscle strength including neurological conditions or muscular dystrophy. |

FAI Arm Comparison Group Participants aged 18-30, Male and Female (10 participants each). Participants with femoro-acetabular impingement as diagnosed clinically and on radiological imaging for the comparison group (MRI). |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Muscle Strength on Dynamometer [3 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Kinematics of the Hip - Range of Movement [3 months]
