Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Movement Pattern TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Focus will be on task-specific training to improve lower extremity movement patterns during basic daily tasks, such as sit to stand and stairs, and reported patient-specific tasks. Patient education will include instruction in abnormal movement patterns and methods to optimize movement patterns during each task. Tasks will be prioritized based on patient-report of activity limitations during the baseline examination. For example, during the first visit, the treating physical therapist will begin with the daily and patient-specific tasks that the patient reported as being most bothersome. Exercises will include repeated practice of functional tasks using optimized movement patterns. Based on the participant's performance, the difficulty of the task-specific activities will be progressed by varying the repetitions performed, increasing the load or changing the support surface. The home program will consist of repeated practice of tasks performed during the supervised sessions.

Group II: Manual Therapy (Joint Mobilization)Active Control1 Intervention

Focus will be on reducing pain and improving pain-free range of motion using manual techniques provided by the physical therapist and exercise performed in the home program. Patient education will include instruction to the benefits of manual therapy and the proposed effects on pain and joint mobility. Joint mobilizations to be used with each patient will be prioritized based on the restrictions, defined as stiffness or pain that is limiting joint range of motion, noted on the patient's baseline examination. For example, during the first visit, the treating physical therapist will begin with the two most restricted motions noted in the baseline exam and perform a standard assessment to determine treatment parameters. The home program will include joint range of motion and stretching exercises to complement techniques performed during the supervised sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who has access to participate in this clinical trial?

"This trial seeks 33 young adults (age 18-40) experiencing hip joint pain and related groin discomfort, who also have a modified Harris Hip Score lower than 90. Additionally, they must report their intensity of suffering as 3/10 or higher on the Pain Scale Index, demonstrate protective sensation in the feet upon examination, and display frequent symptoms over the last twelve months."

Answered by AI

Is participation in this trial open to individuals of all ages, or are there any age restrictions?

"According to the stated selection criteria, applicants aged 18-40 are eligible for this medical trial. Additionally, 4 different studies have been made available for individuals below the age of consent and 5 trials are taking place with senior citizens over 65 years old."

Answered by AI

Are there any open recruitment opportunities for this research project?

"The clinicaltrial.gov database suggests that this particular medical trial is no longer recruiting individuals; the study was posted on July 1st 2019 and last modified on 18th of July 2022. Nevertheless, 15 other studies are actively searching for participants right now."

Answered by AI

What are the ultimate objectives of this research endeavor?

"This clinical trial is designed to measure participants' improvement in the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) Activities of Daily Living Subscale over a 13-week period. Secondary outcomes include changes in HOOS Sport and Recreation Subscale, Numeric Pain Rating Scale worst pain intensity, and HOOS activities of daily living subscale."
