The Immediate Effects of Passive Hip Joint Mobilization on Hip Muscle Strength in Patients With Anterior Knee Pain

What Are the Immediate Effects of Passive Hip Joint Mobilization on Hip Abductor/External Rotator Muscle Strength in Patients With Anterior Knee Pain and Impaired Hip Function

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 18 (actual)
• Sponsor: Sheffield Hallam University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the immediate effects of passive hip joint mobilisation (in comparison to a sham mobilisation) on eccentric hip abductor/external rotator muscle strength on the basis of manual muscle testing with a hand-held-dynamometer within a double-blinded cross-over study design. Patients with anterior knee pain and signs of impaired hip function will be recruited in Vienna and surrounding area, measurements/data collection will be conducted by two experienced physiotherapists in a physiotherapy group practice in 1150 Vienna.
