Resistance Training for Patients Diagnosed With External Snapping Hip

Resistance Training for Patients Diagnosed With External Snapping Hip. A Feasibility Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 9 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Aarhus · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether targeted progressive resistance training is safe and feasible for patients with external snapping hip. Dropout rates, adverse events and training adherence are investigated. The secondary purpose is to investigate whether it is possible through targeted progressive resistance training to improve participants' muscle strength, functional status and hip-related quality of life.

Detailed description

Snapping hip (coxa saltans) is a disorder where the hip tends to make an audible click-through movement, often but not necessarily associated with pain. A prevalence of 5-10% of the general population has been reported. Snapping hip is divided into three forms of snapping hip; intraarticular, internal and external snapping hip. External snapping hip (coxa saltans external) is the most common form, and patients may experience pain when the iliotibial band or anterior part of the gluteus maximus slides over the greater trochanter at femur. Patients with external snapping hip are typically between 15 and 40 years, and physically active.
