Hip Manipulation for Improved Strength in Patients With Hip Pain

NCT06655987 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2025-07-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effects of an unrestrained femoral internal rotation (UFIR) manipulation technique on hip external rotation strength in individuals with nonspecific hip pain. The results of this study may help physical therapists and other healthcare professionals to better understand the effectiveness of this technique in improving hip strength and function in patients with nonspecific hip pain.

Conditions

  • Hip Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Unrestrained Femoral Internal Rotation (UFIR) manipulation

This is the primary intervention applied to the experimental group. It involves a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust at the greater trochanter of the affected hip, intended to improve joint mobility and potentially address neuromuscular dysfunction contributing to hip pain and weakness.

OTHER

Sham manipulation

This serves as the control intervention. It involves gentle hand placement over the affected hip\'s external rotators for a brief duration. This is intended to mimic the physical contact of the UFIR manipulation without actually delivering the therapeutic thrust.
