Summary

This pilot randomised controlled trial will directly compare the effect of isometric exercise to isotonic exercise over a period of 12 weeks for participants with a clinical diagnosis of Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS).

Conditions

  • Gluteal Tendinitis

Interventions

OTHER

Isometric exercise programme

Exercise programme where the muscle length and joint angle do not change due to the limb being held in a static position

OTHER

Isotonic exercise programme

Exercise programme where both the muscle length and joint angle do change, consisting of concentric muscle actions (where the muscle shortens) and eccentric muscle actions (where the muscle lengthens)
