The association between hip adductor and extensor strength, and hip-related patient-reported outcomes in patients with longstanding hip and groin pain: An exploratory cross-sectional study. Phys Ther Sport 2024; 70:61-66. [PMID: 39312863 DOI: 10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Revised: 09/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the association between hip muscle strength and hip-related patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP). DESIGN Cross-sectional design. SETTING Orthopedic care. PARTICIPANTS Eighty-one patients with LHGP were consecutively recruited. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hip muscle strength was measured in adduction and extension. Hip-related PROMs was measured with the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) which includes six subscales (Symptoms, Pain, Activity in Daily Living (ADL), Physical Function in Sports and Recreation (Sport/Rec), Participation in Physical Activities (PA), and Quality of Life (QoL). Linear regression examined the association between hip muscle strength and each HAGOS subscale. RESULTS Greater isometric hip muscle strength in adduction was associated with better HAGOS score for Pain and ADL (p ≤ 0.037), but not for Symptoms, Sport/Rec, PA, or QoL (p ≥ 0.154). Greater isometric hip muscle strength in extension was associated with better HAGOS score for Symptoms, Pain, and ADL (p ≤ 0.034), but not for Sport/Rec, PA, or QoL (p ≥ 0.084). CONCLUSIONS In patients with LHGP, greater isometric hip muscle strength seems to be associated with less symptoms and pain, and better function in ADL. No association was found for Sport/Rec, PA, or QoL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the intra-rater reliability and validity of belt-stabilized and tension dynamometry to assess hip muscle strength and power. DESIGN Repeated measures. SETTING Biomechanics laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Seventeen uninjured adults (age = 22.0 ± 2.3y; 13 females). MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES Peak torque (strength) and rate of torque development (RTD; power) were measured for hip abduction, internal rotation, external rotation and extension using an isokinetic dynamometer, and belt-stabilized and tension dynamometry. RESULTS For peak torque assessment, belt-stabilized and tension dynamometry showed good (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient [ICC] = 0.848-0.899) and good-to-excellent (ICC = 0.848-0.942) reliability, respectively. For RTD, belt-stabilized dynamometry showed fair reliability for abduction (ICC = 0.524) and good reliability for hip internal rotation, external rotation, and extension (ICC = 0.702-0.899). Tension dynamometry showed good reliability for all motions when measuring RTD (ICC = 0.737-0.897). Compared to isokinetic dynamometry, belt-stabilized and tension dynamometry showed good-to-excellent correlations for peak torque assessment (r = 0.503-0.870), and fair-to-good correlations for RTD (r = 0.438-0.674). Bland-Altman analysis showed that measures from belt-stabilized and tension dynamometry had clinically meaningful disagreement with isokinetic dynamometry. CONCLUSION Tension dynamometry is reliable for assessing hip strength and power in all assessed motions. Belt-stabilized dynamometry is reliable for assessing internal rotation, external rotation, and extension. Validity of both methods is questionable, considering the lack of agreement with isokinetic dynamometry.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Measuring rate of torque development (RTD) and peak torque (PT) for hip muscle performance presents challenges in clinical practice. This study investigated the construct validity of a handheld dynamometer (HHD) versus an isokinetic dynamometer (IKD), and intra-rater repeated reliability for RTD and PT and their relationship in hip joint movements. METHODS Thirty healthy individuals (mean age = 30 ± 8 years, 13 males) underwent two test sessions in a single day. RTD (0-50, 0-100, 0-150, 0-200ms) and PT normalised to body mass in maximal voluntary isometric contractions were measured using a HHD and an IKD in hip flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal and external rotation. RESULTS For validity between the devices, RTD0-50 exhibited the largest significant systematic bias in all hip movements (3.41-11.99 Nm·s-1 kg-1) and widest limits-of-agreement, while RTD0-200 had the lowest bias (-1.33-3.99 Nm·s-1 kg-1) and narrowest limits-of-agreement. For PT, agreement between dynamometers was observed for hip flexion (0.08 Nm·kg-1), abduction (-0.09 Nm·kg-1), internal (-0.01 Nm·kg-1), and external rotation (0.05 Nm·kg-1). For reliability, intra-rater intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) ranged from moderate to good in RTD0-50 and RTD0-100 (0.5-0.88), and good to excellent in RTD0-150 and RTD0-200 (0.87-0.95) in all movements. The HHD displayed excellent intra-rater, relative reliability values (ICC2,1) in all movements (0.85-0.95). Pearson's correlation revealed good linear correlation between PT and RTD0-150 and RTD0-200 in all movements (r = .7 to .87, p = < .001). CONCLUSION Validity analysis demonstrated significant systematic bias and lack of agreement in RTD measures between the HHD and IKD. However, the HHD displays excellent to moderate intra-rater, relative reliability for RTD and PT measures in hip movements. Clinicians may use the HHD for hip muscle PT assessment but note, late phase RTD measures are more reliable, valid, and relate to PT than early phase RTD. Additionally, the correlation between RTD and PT at various time epochs was examined to better understand the relationship between these measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a significant toxicity for women with breast cancer receiving taxane-based treatment. This analysis has been done within the context of an ongoing 16-week randomized clinical trial consisting of a gait, balance, and strength training exercise intervention for the lower extremities in women with persistent CIPN who received taxane-based chemotherapy for breast cancer. The aim of this analysis is to determine the baseline fall risk among 62 study participants with persistent taxane-induced CIPN assigned to the control group. METHODS This analysis used the baseline demographic, medical data, nerve conduction, gait, balance, and muscle strength variables of participants prior to randomization to develop an explanatory model of fall risk. The analytic approach utilized generalized linear modeling with Lasso to select baseline risk factors for future falls. RESULTS Characteristics of the study sample by intervention and control group revealed no significant differences between the groups at baseline. The only baseline risk factors that were significantly associated with future falls were near falls within the last month (β = 0.90, P = .056) with an odds ratio = 2.46, 95% confidence interval 0.31 to 17, and right ankle plantar flexion torque. (β = 0. 05, P = .006) with an odds ratio = 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.10. Demographic and medical data, nerve conduction parameters, gait, balance, or muscle strength variables did not significantly influence fall risk in this population. CONCLUSIONS The potential for injury and disability from falls is a considerable concern among oncology clinicians and women with breast cancer and persistent CIPN. While falls and fall risk have been previously examined in other studies of breast cancer survivors, the majority of studies fail to capture the occurrence of "near falls" a significant predictor of fall risk. In addition, it is possible that ankle strength may prove to be a potential target for fall prevention in this population. Evidence-based interventions focused on improving neuropathic symptoms, physical function, and quality of life in persons with CIPN are still needed. IMPLICATION FOR NURSING PRACTICE Oncology nurses and nurse practitioners should query patients who received taxane-based chemotherapy for not only the incidence and frequency of falls but the occurrence of near falls. A prompt referral to physical therapy may be useful in strengthening the lower extremities to improve balance and prevent falls.

Rehabilitation-Specific Predictors of Pain Intensity and Physical Activity Levels in Individuals With Acetabular Dysplasia 6 Months After Periacetabular Osteotomy. Scand J Med Sci Sports 2024; 34:e14711.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with acetabular dysplasia often report hip joint instability, pain, and poor hip-related function. Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a surgical procedure that aims to reposition the acetabulum to improve joint congruency and improve pain and function. We aimed to examine the influence of presurgery clinical measures on functional recovery following PAO and the associations among clinical outcomes after PAO. METHODS We screened 49 potential participants, 28 were enrolled, and 23 completed both study visits (pre-PAO and 6 months post-PAO). We evaluated dynamometer-measured hip and thigh strength, loading patterns during a squat and countermovement jump (CMJ), pain intensity, and device-measured physical activity (PA) levels (light, moderate-to-vigorous PA [MVPA], and daily steps). We used linear regression models to examine the influence of muscle strength (peak torque; limb symmetry index [LSI]) and loading patterns before PAO on pain intensity and PA levels in individuals 6 months following PAO. Additionally, we used Pearson correlation coefficient to examine cross-sectional associations among all variables 6 months following PAO. RESULTS Lower extremity muscle strength and loading patterns during the squat and CMJ before PAO did not predict pain intensity or device-measured PA levels in individuals 6 months following PAO (p > 0.05). Six months following PAO, higher knee extensor LSI was associated with higher time spent in MVPA (r = 0.56; p = 0.016), higher hip abductor LSI was associated with both lower pain (r = 0.50; p = 0.036) and higher involved limb loading during the squat task (r = 0.59; p = 0.010). Lastly, higher hip flexor LSI was associated with higher CMJ takeoff involved limb loading (r = 0.52; p = 0.021) and higher involved hip extensor strength was associated with higher CMJ landing involved limb loading (r = 0.56; p = 0.012). CONCLUSION Six months after PAO, higher hip and thigh muscle strength and strength symmetry were associated with lower pain, higher PA levels, and greater normalized limb loading during dynamic movement tasks.

Abstract
Hip-related pain is a common issue in active adults affecting their quality of life, mobility, and overall function, and it can lead to persistent disability. However, diagnosing hip-related pain is challenging due to the many potential sources and causes, including intra-articular and extra-articular pathology, and referred pain from other areas (lumbar or groin related pain). To address this, there is a need for a clinical algorithm based on the best available evidence and expert consensus. This algorithm could guide healthcare professionals in assessing and managing patients with hip-related pain, during the diagnosis, test selection, intervention, monitoring, and promoting collaboration among various healthcare providers. This clinical algorithm for hip-related pain is a comprehensive, flexible, adaptable to different settings, and regularly updated to incorporate new research findings. This literature review aims to establish a clinical algorithm specifically for prescribing exercise treatment to patients with hip-related pain, addressing their individual needs and enhancing their overall care.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), particularly cam morphology, is highly prevalent among elite hockey athletes. Moreover, hip and groin pain has become a common issue in hockey, with approximately 50% of European professional athletes reported to experience a hip or groin problem during a season. While most athletes will not miss training or competition due to this, restricted competitive performance and increased risk of reduced physical and psychological well-being are likely. Recent research suggests that the development of cam morphology is related to the repetitive shear stresses experienced at the hip joint during adolescence from skating. This condition likely increases the potential for intra-articular and extra-articular injuries in these athletes later in their careers. Research also indicates that the hip joint mechanics during forward skating substantially increase the possibility of sustaining a labral tear compared to other sports. Such an injury can increase femoral head movement within the joint, potentially causing secondary damage to the iliofemoral ligament, ligamentum teres and joint capsule. These injuries and the high density of nociceptors in the affected structures may explain the high prevalence of hip and groin pain in hockey athletes. Compensatory adaptations, such as reduced hip strength, stability, and range-of-motion (ROM) likely increase the opportunity for core muscle injuries and hip flexor and adductor injuries. Specifically, the limited hip ROM associated with cam morphology appears to exacerbate the risk of these injuries as there will be an increase in pubic symphysis stress and transverse strain during rotational movements. It is hoped that this article will assist practitioners currently working with hockey athletes to develop evidence-informed monitoring strategies and training interventions, aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of hip and groin problems, ultimately enhancing athlete performance and well-being. Therefore, the purpose of this clinical commentary was to examine current evidence on common hip pathologies in hockey athletes, exploring potential associations between hip and groin pain and the biomechanics of hockey activities. Level of Evidence 5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As overhead sports continue to grow in popularity, there has been increased interest in optimizing sports performance and injury prevention in these athletes. The hip, core, and kinetic chain have become a focus of research in recent decades, and their importance in upper extremity mechanics is now being recognized. METHODS An extensive review was carried out to identify papers correlating the hip, core and/or kinetic chain in overhead athletic performance and injury. RESULTS Recent literature has shown that efficiency and synchrony of the hips and core during an overhead movement (such as in baseball, golf, tennis, or volleyball) is essential for a powerful and precise execution of the task. Impairments of the hip and core, particularly abnormal joint mobility or weakness, can limit efficient energy transfer through the kinetic chain and may negatively impact performance. Recent epidemiologic studies have found hip pain to be common in adolescent, collegiate, and adult athletes. Moreover, hip pain in overhead athletes specifically has also been found to occur at a high rate. Abnormalities in hip range of motion, hip morphology, and core strength can lead to abnormal mechanics upstream in the kinetic chain, which may place athletes at risk of injuries. CONCLUSION In this review, the complex and multifaceted relationship between the hip, core, and kinetic chain is highlighted with an emphasis on recent literature and relevant findings.

Abstract
Background Acetabular dysplasia (AD) is defined as a structurally deficient acetabulum and is a well-recognized cause of hip pain in young adults. While treatment of severe AD with a periacetabular osteotomy has demonstrated good long-term outcomes, a trial of non-operative management is often recommended in this population. This may be especially true in patients with milder deformities. Currently, there is a paucity of research pertaining to non-operative management of individuals with AD. Purpose To present expert-driven non-operative rehabilitation guidelines for use in individuals with AD. Study Design Delphi study. Methods A panel of 15 physiotherapists from North America who were identified as experts in non-operative rehabilitation of individuals with AD by a high-volume hip preservation surgeon participated in this Delphi study. Panelists were presented with 16 questions regarding evaluation and treatment principles of individuals with AD. A three-step Delphi method was utilized to establish consensus on non-operative rehabilitation principles for individuals presenting with AD. Results Total (100%) participation was achieved for all three survey rounds. Consensus, defined a piori as > 75%, was reached for 16/16 questions regarding evaluation principles, activity modifications, appropriate therapeutic exercise progression, return to activity/sport criteria, and indications for physician referral. Conclusion This North American based Delphi study presents expert-based consensus on non-operative rehabilitation principles for use in individuals with AD. Establishing guidelines for non-operative management in this population will help reduce practice variation and is the first step in stratifying individuals who would benefit from non-operative management. Future research should focus on patient-reported outcomes and rate of subsequent surgical intervention to determine the success of the guidelines reported in this study. Level of Evidence Level V.

Abstract
PURPOSE To serve as a guide for non-operative physicians in the management of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and provide an algorithm as to when to refer patients for potential surgical management. RECENT FINDINGS Supervised physical therapy programs that focus on active strengthening and core strengthening are more effective than unsupervised, passive, and non-core-focused programs. There is promising evidence for the use of intra-articular hyaluronic acid and PRP as adjunct treatment options. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have found that in young active patients, hip arthroscopy demonstrates improved short-term outcomes over physical therapy. The decision for the management of FAIS is complex and should be specific to each patient. Consideration of the patient's age, timing to return to sport, longevity of treatment, hip morphology, and degree of cartilage degeneration is required to make an informed decision in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with femoroacetabular with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) often report pain during sports involving repeated sprinting. It remains unclear how sports participation influences running biomechanics in individuals with FAIS. HYPOTHESIS Changes in running biomechanics and/or isometric hip strength after repeated sprint exercise would be greatest in individuals with FAIS compared with asymptomatic individuals with (CAM) and without cam morphology (Control). STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3. METHODS Three-dimensional hip biomechanics during maximal running (10 m) and hip strength were measured in 49 recreationally active individuals (FAIS = 15; CAM = 16; Control = 18) before and after repeated sprint exercise performed on a nonmotorized treadmill (8-16 × 30 m). Effects of group and time were assessed for biomechanics and strength variables with repeated-measures analyses of variance. Relationships between hip pain (Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score) and changes in hip moments and strength after repeated sprint exercise were determined using Spearman's correlation coefficients (ρ). RESULTS Running speed, hip flexion angles, hip flexion and extension moments, and hip strength in all muscle groups were significantly reduced from pre to post. No significant between-group differences were observed before or after repeated sprint exercise. No significant relationships (ρ = 0.04-0.30) were observed between hip pain and changes in hip moments or strength in the FAIS group. CONCLUSION Changes in running biomechanics and strength after repeated sprint exercise did not differ between participants with FAIS and asymptomatic participants with and without cam morphology. Self-reported pain did not appear to influence biomechanics during running or strength after repeated sprint exercise in participants with FAIS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A short bout of repeated sprinting may not elicit changes in running biomechanics in FAIS beyond what occurs in those without symptoms. Longer duration activities or activities requiring greater hip flexion angles may better provoke pathology-related changes in running biomechanics in people with FAIS.

Abstract
The Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy (AOPT), formerly the Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), has an ongoing effort to create evidence-based practice guidelines for orthopaedic physical therapy management of patients with musculoskeletal impairments described in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). This is an update to the 2014 Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for Hip Pain and Movement Dysfunction Associated with Nonarthritic Hip Joint Pain. The goals of the revision were to provide a concise summary of the contemporary evidence since publication of the original guideline and to develop new recommendations or revise previously published recommendations to support evidence-based practice. This current CPG covers pathoanatomical features, clinical course, prognosis, diagnosis, examination, and physical therapy interventions in the management of nonarthritic hip joint pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine hip muscle strength deficits in patients with femoroacetabular impingent syndrome (FAIS), with special emphasis on potential sex- and comparison-related (between-subject vs within-subject) differences. DESIGN Cross-sectional comparative study. PARTICIPANTS Forty FAIS patients (20 women), 40 healthy controls (20 women) and 40 athletes (20 women). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hip abduction, adduction and flexion isometric strength was tested using a commercially-available dynamometer. Two between-subject comparisons (FAIS patients vs controls and FAIS patients vs athletes) and one within-subject comparison (inter-limb asymmetry) of strength deficits were conducted, based on the calculation of respective percent differences. RESULTS For all hip muscle groups, women were 14-18% weaker than men (p < 0.001), but no sex-related interactions were observed. For all hip muscle groups, FAIS patients were 16-19% weaker than controls (p = 0.001) and 24-30% weaker than athletes (p < 0.001). For FAIS patients, the involved hip abductors were 8.5% weaker than the uninvolved ones (p = 0.015), while no inter-limb asymmetry was observed for the other hip muscles. CONCLUSION Sex had no influence on hip muscle strength deficits in FAIS patients while a major impact of comparison method/group was observed. Hip abductors showed consistent deficits for all comparison methods, suggestive of a possible greater impairment compared to hip flexors and adductors.

Patient-Perceived Outcomes Improve Faster Than Hip Strength in Recovery After Surgical Correction for Symptomatic Femoroacetabular Impingement. HSS J 2023; 19:97-106. [PMID: 36776512 PMCID: PMC9837412 DOI: 10.1177/15563316221093614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/14/2023]
Abstract
Background: Patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) have hip strength deficits, instability, and increased risk for concomitant injury. While surgical intervention is an effective method of treatment for FAI, more information is needed about the recovery process. Purposes: We sought to understand how patients with FAI recover from surgical correction in the short term. Do patients' perceptions of improvement correspond with measured improvements in hip strength? Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 17 patients (11 male, age range: 16-38 years) who were diagnosed with symptomatic FAI at a single surgeon's practice. Hip strength (flexion, extension, and abduction) was measured preoperatively and at 14, 26, and 52 weeks postoperatively. Patient-reported outcomes using the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Hip Outcome Osteoarthritis Score (HOOS) subscales were measured at the same time points and at 2 weeks postoperatively. Results: Compared with preoperative values, there was a significant increase in postoperative values at 26 and 52 weeks in normalized isokinetic hip extension (29% and 38%, respectively) and normalized hip abduction (48% and 55%, respectively). No differences in strength were observed at 14 weeks. Modified Harris Hip Score and all HOOS subscales were decreased by 2 weeks postoperatively, and by 14 weeks mHHS improved by 21%, and HOOS subscales improved as well (activities of daily living by 18%, pain by 34%, quality of life by 69%, sport and recreation by 36%, and symptoms by 28%). Conclusion: We observed that patient-reported outcomes including symptoms, function, and satisfaction improved at 14 weeks, while objective measures of hip strength improved at 26 weeks following surgical correction of FAI. More rigorous study is indicated.

Abstract
Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is a painful, structural hip disorder. Herein, we investigated hip joint mechanics through in vivo, dynamic measurement of the bone-to-bone distance between the femoral head and acetabulum in patients with cam FAI syndrome and morphologically screened controls. We hypothesized that individuals with cam FAI syndrome would have larger changes in bone-to-bone distance compared to the control group, which we would interpret as altered joint mechanics as signified by greater movement of the femoral head as it articulates within the acetabulum. Seven patients with cam FAI syndrome and 11 asymptomatic individuals with typical morphology underwent dual fluoroscopy imaging during level and inclined walking (upward slope). The change in bone-to-bone distance between femoral and acetabular bone surfaces was evaluated for five anatomical regions of the acetabulum at each timepoint of gait. Linear regression analysis of the bone-to-bone distance considered two within-subject factors (activity and region) and one between-subjects factor (group). Across activities, the change in minimum bone-to-bone distance was 1.38-2.54 mm for the cam FAI group and 1.16-1.84 mm for controls. In all regions except the anterior-superior region, the change in bone-to-bone distance was larger in the cam group than the control group (p ≤ 0.024). An effect of activity was detected only in the posterior-superior region where larger changes were noted during level walking than incline walking. Statement of clinical significance: Patients with cam FAI syndrome exhibit altered hip joint mechanics during the low-demand activity of walking; these alterations could affect load transmission, and contribute to pain, tissue damage, and osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Background Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) show sex-specific differences in hip muscle function, hip morphology, and symptoms. Possible differences in hip muscle characteristics between men and women with FAIS are unknown. Purpose To compare hip muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and fatty infiltration between men and women with FAIS and investigate possible associations with patient-reported outcomes. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods We retrospectively analyzed preoperative axial pelvic magnetic resonance imaging scans of 104 patients (54 women) who underwent hip surgery for FAIS. The main outcome measures were side-to-side percentage asymmetry in hip muscle CSA and involved-side fatty infiltration as measured with the Goutallier scale for a total of 10 hip muscles. Patient-reported outcomes included duration of hip symptoms, iHOT-12 (12-item International Hip Outcome Tool), and Hip Sports Activity Scale. Results Women showed larger hip abductor muscle CSA asymmetry than men (P = .018), particularly for the gluteus medius (P = .049), while men exhibited more fatty streaks (grade 1) in the gluteus medius (P = .015) than women. Duration of symptoms was associated only with fatty infiltration of obturator externus in men (r S = -0.55, P = .018). iHOT-12 was associated with CSA asymmetry of the gluteus minimus (r = -0.41, P = .011) and iliopsoas (r = -0.36, P = .028) in men and with piriformis fatty infiltration (r S = -0.56, P = .030) in women. The Hip Sports Activity Scale was associated with iliopsoas CSA asymmetry (r S = 0.32, P = .026) and with fatty infiltration of the tensor fasciae latae (r S = -0.45, P = .046) and obturator externus (r S = -0.50, P = .023) in women. Conclusion Patients with FAIS demonstrated few sex-specific quantitative and qualitative alterations of hip muscles. Women showed greater hip abductor muscle atrophy than men, particularly for the gluteus medius, while men showed a higher degree of fatty infiltration in this same muscle. The duration of hip symptoms was not associated with muscle atrophy. Patient-reported hip pain/function and sport activity level were only moderately associated with isolated muscular variables.

Differences in hip torque ratios between individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and asymptomatic individuals: A cross-sectional study. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon) 2022; 100:105809.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip torque ratios are considered a useful measure for patients with hip pain. However, evidence regarding this measure for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is scarce. The primary aim of this study was to compare hip external-internal rotation and abduction-adduction torque ratios between patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and asymptomatic individuals. The secondary aim was to compare hip torque ratios between the asymptomatic group and femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients grouped according to the severity of symptoms and functional limitations. METHODS Hip abduction-adduction and external-internal rotation torque ratios of 134 individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and 134 asymptomatic matched controls was assessed through isokinetic testing. Severity of symptoms and functional limitations was assessed through the iHOT-33. Mann Whitney U and Kruskall-Wallis tests were used to compare hip torque ratios between asymptomatic individuals and patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and to patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome with different severities of symptoms and functional limitations. FINDINGS No differences were identified in hip abduction-adduction (U = 7659.5, p = 0.192) and external-internal rotation (U = 8787.5, p = 0.764) torque ratios between patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and asymptomatic individuals. Hip abduction-adduction torque ratio was higher (p = 0.0127) in patients with a severe state (median = 1.80, IQR = 0.61) when compared to asymptomatic individuals (median = 1.52, IQR = 0.45) (moderate effect size, r = 0.45). INTERPRETATION Patients with severe symptoms and functional limitations related to FAI syndrome presented greater hip abduction-adduction torque ratio than asymptomatic individuals, suggesting a decreased adduction torque capacity relative to abduction torque in this subgroup of femoroacetabular impingement.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Gonçalves, BM, Mesquita, RNO, Tavares, F, Brito, J, Correia, P, Santos, P, and Mil-Homens, P. A new portable device to reliably measure maximal strength and rate of force development of hip adduction and abduction. J Strength Cond Res 36(9): 2465-2471, 2022-Groin injuries are a major issue in sports involving kicking or quick changes of direction. Decreased hip adduction and abduction strength have been indicated as one of the main risk factors for groin injury. The methods currently available to measure hip adduction and abduction strength are reliable but highly dependent on the evaluator skills. Furthermore, several studies have reported the reliability of maximal strength (MVIC), but very few studies investigated the reliability of explosive strength (RFD), a parameter that has been previously shown to have a higher functional value. The aim of the current investigation was to assess the reliability of a user-independent portable dynamometer that concurrently measures MVIC and RFD. Twenty-five healthy young subjects performed maximal isometric hip adduction and abduction in both sitting and supine positions. Measurements occurred in 2 different days separated by 48-72 hours. Test-retest reliability was calculated for both MVIC and RFD. Both MVIC and RFD showed good relative reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.77-0.98) with no differences between positions or muscle actions. Measurement error was similar between positions for MVIC in both hip adduction and abduction. Measurements of RFD showed higher reliability using a time window of at least 0-100 milliseconds, and lower measurement error was observed in sitting for adduction and in supine for abduction. This study shows that portable dynamometry can be used to concurrently measure hip adduction and abduction maximal and explosive strength, with levels of reliability that are similar to previously described methods.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is caused by hip joint anomalies. Although asymptomatic and symptomatic FAI have been reported in young adults, information on biomechanical and functional characteristics of FAI is rare. We compared the subjective hip score, range of motion (ROM), dynamic balance, and hip strength between symptomatic FAI (FAIsym) and asymptomatic FAI (FAIasym) groups and healthy controls. Participants (n = 307; men: 155, women: 152) were classified according to morphological abnormalities and hip joint symptoms, comprising symptomatic FAI, asymptomatic FAI, and healthy controls. The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), hip ROM, Y-balance test (YBT), and isokinetic hip strength were measured. The types of FAI were not significantly differenent in both men and women. FAIsym exhibited significantly reduced HAGOS, whereas FAIasym showed no significant difference compared to the healthy group (men: healthy 91.7 vs. FAIasym 87.2 vs. FAIsym 49.9, women: healthy 91.7 vs. FAIasym 86.2 vs. FAIsym 53.9). Hip flexion, adduction, and internal and external rotation ROMs were only significantly reduced in symptomatic FAI. Asymptomatic and symptomatic FAI groups displayed significantly lower YBT scores than healthy controls (men healthy: 84.9 vs. FAIasym: 69.0 vs. FAIsym 58.7, women healthy 79.2 vs. FAIasym 64.0 vs. FAIsym 55.5). Isokinetic hip flexion, adduction, and abduction strengths were significantly lower in FAIsym. In conclusion, FAIasym showed no decrease in muscle strength but displayed reduced dynamic balance. Subjective satisfaction, ROM, muscle strength, and dynamic balance were lower in FAIsym compared to FAIasym and healthy groups.

Abstract
Background Little is known about muscle morphology in people with hip-related pain, without signs of femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Identifying changes in hip muscle volume, fatty infiltrate and establishing relationships between muscle volume and strength, may provide insight into potential early treatment strategies. Purposes To: (i) compare the volumes and fatty infiltrate of gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimis, tensor fascia latae and quadratus femoris between symptomatic and less-symptomatic sides of participants with hip-related pain; (ii) compare the volumes and fatty infiltrate of hip muscles between healthy controls and symptomatic participants; and (iii) explore relationships of hip muscle volumes to muscle strength and patient-reported outcome measures in people with hip-related pain. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Methods Muscle volume and fatty infiltrate (from magnetic resonance imaging), hip muscle strength, patient-reported symptoms, function and quality of life (QOL) were determined for 16 participants with hip-related pain (no clinical signs of FAIS; 37±9 years) and 15 controls (31±9 years). Using One Way Analysis of Co-Variance tests, muscle volume and fatty infiltrate was compared between the symptomatic and less-symptomatic sides in participants with hip-related pain as well as between healthy controls and symptomatic participants. In addition, hip muscle volume was correlated with hip muscle strength, hip-reported symptoms, function and QOL. Results No differences in all the studied muscle volumes or fatty infiltrate were identified between the symptomatic and less-symptomatic hips of people with hip-related pain; or between people with and without hip-related pain. Greater GMED volume on the symptomatic side was associated with less symptoms and better function and QOL (ρ=0.522-0.617) for those with hip-related pain. Larger GMAX volume was associated with greater hip abduction and internal rotation strength, larger GMED volume was associated with greater hip extension strength, and larger QF volume was associated with greater hip abduction strength (rho=0.507-0.638). Conclusion People with hip-related pain and no clinical signs of FAIS have hip muscle volumes that are not significantly different than those of matched pain-free controls or their less-symptomatic hip. Larger GMED muscle volume was associated with fewer symptoms and greater strength. Level of evidence Level 3a.

Hip kinematics and kinetics in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome before and 1 year after hip arthroscopic surgery. Results from the HAFAI cohort. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2022; 142:2019-2029.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) experience decreased function. Consequently, earlier studies have evaluated gait biomechanics in these patients, but a larger study evaluating gait biomechanics before and after an intervention standardising gait speed is lacking. We aimed at investigating gait kinematics and kinetics in patients with FAIS compared with pain-free controls before and 1 year after hip arthroscopic surgery. Secondary, we aimed at analysing gait pattern separately for the sexes and to investigate associations between peak kinematics and kinetics and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients with FAIS and 30 pain-free controls were tested at a standardised gait speed (1.40 m/s ± 10%). Patients were tested twice: before and 1 year after surgery. Kinematics and kinetics were recorded using infrared high-speed cameras and a force plate. Participants answered HAGOS. RESULTS The largest difference among groups was that gait differed between males and females. Neither before nor after surgery could we demonstrate large alterations in gait pattern between patients and pain-free controls. Male patients demonstrated associations between peak kinematics and kinetics and HAGOS Sports function. CONCLUSIONS Gait pattern was only vaguely altered in patients with FAIS compared with pain-free controls before and after surgery when using at standardised gait speed. Hence, analysing gait in patients with FAIS does not seem of major importance. Nevertheless, there was an association between HAGOS Sports function and peak kinematics and kinetics in male patients, implying that there could be a clinical importance.

[PMID: 34370330 PMCID: PMC8825882 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this exploratory analysis was to compare the impact of movement pattern training (MoveTrain) and standard strength and flexibility training (Standard) on muscle volume, strength and fatty infiltration in patients with hip-related groin pain (HRGP). We completed a secondary analysis of data collected during an assessor-blinded randomized control trial. Data were used from 27 patients with HRGP, 15-40 years, who were randomized into MoveTrain or Standard groups. Both groups participated in their training protocol (MoveTrain, n = 14 or Standard, n = 13) which included 10 supervised sessions over 12 weeks and a daily home exercise program. Outcome measures were collected at baseline and immediately after treatment. Magnetic resonance images data were used to determine muscle fat index (MFI) and muscle volume. A hand-held dynamometer was used to assess isometric hip abductor and extensor strength. The Standard group demonstrated a significant posttreatment increase in gluteus medius muscle volume compared to the MoveTrain group. Both groups demonstrated an increase in hip abductor strength and reduction in gluteus minimus and gluteus maximus MFI. The magnitude of change for all outcomes were modest. Statement of Clinical Significance: Movement pattern training or a program of strength/flexibility training may be effective at improving hipabductor strength and reducing fatty infiltration in the gluteal musculature among those with HRGP. Further research is needed to betterunderstand etiology of strength changes and impact of muscle volume and MFI in HRGP and the effect of exercise on muscle structure andfunction.

Teran-Wodzinski P, Haladay D, Vu T, Ji M, Coury J, Adams A, Schwab L, Visovsky C. Assessing gait, balance, and muscle strength among breast cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN): study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial. Trials 2022; 23:363. [PMID: 35477489 PMCID: PMC9044705 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-022-06294-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and understudied consequence of taxane chemotherapy for breast cancer treatment. CIPN symptoms include numbness combined with tingling sensations, persistent shooting, stabbing, or burning pain even in the absence of painful stimuli, lower extremity muscle weakness, and impaired balance. CIPN symptoms often persist for a long time after completion of chemotherapy, causing significant loss of functional abilities and increased risk of falls. Persistent CIPN caused by taxanes represents a therapeutic challenge due to the limited treatment options. Resistance exercise has shown promising results; however, the effect of exercise on CIPN remains understudied. This study aims to assess the effects of exercise on gait, balance, and lower extremity muscle strength after a 16-week home-based exercise program compared to an educational attention control condition. METHODS A sample of 312 women who completed taxane-based chemotherapy for breast cancer and have symptomatic neuropathy is recruited from a community-dwelling sample. Participants are randomized to either a 16-week Home-Based Physical Activity Intervention or an Educational Attention control group. The home-based intervention protocol consists of targeted lower extremity stretches, followed by 10 min each of gait/balance and 10 min of resistive training accessed by hyperlink or DVD. An Exercise Diary records quantitative exercise data. The gait assessment includes temporospatial parameters and lower extremity joint angles using APDM motion sensors. Participants' balance is assessed using the Sensory Organization Test (SOT) performed using a NeuroCom Balance Master. Isometric strength of hip, knee, and ankle flexor and extensor muscles is assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer, Biodex BX Advantage. In addition, we assess neuropathy symptoms using the FACT-Taxane Additional Concerns Subscale and nerve conduction velocity of the sural and peroneal nerve action potentials. Outcomes are assessed at baseline (prior to randomization) and 16 weeks. DISCUSSION There are currently no evidence-based interventions that address the functional declines associated with CIPN. If successful, this program is simple and easy to implement in the standard of care for individuals with CIPN. Gait and balance training have the potential to reduce physical dysfunction associated with CIPN and reduce the burden of disease in cancer survivors.

Orthop J Sports Med 2022; 10:23259671221075653. [PMID: 35284589 PMCID: PMC8908400 DOI: 10.1177/23259671221075653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) are offered hip arthroscopic surgery to decrease hip pain, improve their function, and decrease development of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Nonetheless, long-term follow-up data are few. Purpose: To investigate patient-reported outcomes, clinical tests, reoperations, and radiographic status 5 years after primary hip arthroscopy in patients with FAIS. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A total of 60 patients (age, 36 ± 9 years; 63% female) diagnosed with FAIS were included in the study and followed for 5 years after hip arthroscopy. Follow-up included Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS); Hip Sports Activity Scale; and clinical tests (flexion, adduction, internal rotation [FADIR]; flexion, abduction, external rotation [FABER]; and psoas muscle/tendon major pain provocation). Radiographic evaluation included lateral joint-space width (LJSW) and Tönnis classification for hip OA. Reoperations and conversion to total hip replacement (THR) were recorded. We calculated the proportion of patients who exceeded the minimal important change (MIC), achieved the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and were within the 95% reference interval of age- and sex-matched persons with no hip problems. Changes were investigated using paired t tests. Results: Compared with preoperatively, all HAGOS subscales were improved substantially 5 years after surgery (mean, ≥21 points; P < .001), and 67% to 89% of patients reported improvements exceeding MIC. Between 56% and 80% achieved PASS, but only 7% to 24% reached the 95% reference interval for the HAGOS subscales. A total of 36% had a positive FADIR test and 25% had a positive FABER test, which were improvements compared with preoperatively (P < .001 for both). Patients with a positive FADIR test had significantly worse HAGOS subscales. Six patients (10%) had a THR since their primary hip arthroscopy. In the remaining patients, the mean LJSW was decreased (-0.4 mm; P = .043), and hip OA had worsened in 9 patients (23%; P = .003). Conclusion: Five years after surgery, the majority of patients experienced HAGOS improvements exceeding MIC while also showing an acceptable PASS. However, clinical tests, participation in physical activities, and quality of life indicated that many patients still experience hip problems.

Abstract
Background The primary aim of this study was to compare knee and hip dynamic muscle strength of individuals with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome scheduled for hip arthroscopy with healthy controls. Our secondary aim was to compare hip and knee muscle strength between male and female patients with FAI syndrome. Methods One hundred and thirty-four individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome scheduled for hip arthroscopy and 134 healthy controls matched for sex and age (within 5 years range) underwent an isokinetic assessment of knee extension and flexion and hip abduction, adduction, external rotation and internal rotation dynamic muscle strength. Two MANOVAs were conducted to compare isokinetic peak torque and total work between groups and sexes. Findings Individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome demonstrated lower values of all variables representing knee and hip isokinetic peak torque and total work measures when compared to healthy controls, with differences ranging from 0.09 Nm/kg (95%CI: 0.06-0.12 Nm/kg) to 0.64 Nm/kg (95%CI: 0.49-0.79 Nm/kg). Female participants from both FAI syndrome and control group showed less knee and hip muscle strength compared to male participants. There was no significant interaction between group and sex regarding knee or hip isokinetic peak torque and total work (p > 0.05). Interpretation Individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome scheduled for hip arthroscopy present impairments in knee or hip dynamic muscle strength when compared to controls. Female participants present less knee and hip muscular strength compared to male participants, these between-sex differences are similar for both FAI syndrome and control group participants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip muscle weakness and altered hip biomechanics during walking are often observed in people with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, although little is known about biomechanics during higher impact tasks. The aim of our study was to explore relationships between hip muscle strength and hip biomechanics during running in people with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, including exploring sex as an effect-modifier of this relationship. METHODS Forty-two adults with unilateral femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (20 females; age 18-50 years; alpha angle ≥60°) completed assessments of hip muscle strength and hip biomechanics during running. Strength was assessed using a hand-held dynamometer for the hip flexors, extensors, abductors, adductors, internal rotators, and external rotators. Hip biomechanics were assessed during overground running (3-3.5 m/s) using three-dimensional motion capture and a force plate. Linear models assessed the relationships between hip strength and hip biomechanics of the symptomatic limb, controlling for body mass and running velocity along with an interaction term (strength*sex). FINDINGS A significant negative relationship was observed between hip external rotator strength and hip frontal plane range of motion (i.e., excursion), independent of sex (estimate = -0.039, 95%CI -0.071 to -0.008, P = 0.02). Four sex-specific interactions were observed, with a significant positive relationship between hip external rotator strength and peak hip extension moment in women (estimate = -0.413, 95%CI -0.713 to -0.114, P = 0.01) but not in men. INTERPRETATION We found significant relationships between hip external rotator strength and stance phase running biomechanics, providing further understanding on two impaired physical measures that may inform exercise-based management strategies in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although many rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy have been described, there is still significant variability about duration, goals, restrictions, and techniques to apply by the physical therapy after the surgical procedure. The aim of the study was to systematically review rehabilitation after hip arthroscopy. DESIGN The data sources were PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines were used for the systematic review. Level I-IV evidence clinical studies and clinical reviews that focused on rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy have been used as study eligibility criteria. Major limitations include the retrospective nature of most of the studies selected (level IV evidence) and the use of different clinical scores to report the outcomes. RESULTS This review showed that although a standardized guideline on rehabilitation after hip arthroscopy is still missing, the most recent studies and clinical trials are focusing on a four-phase program, which includes goals, recommendations, and a progression of exercises. CONCLUSIONS Rehabilitation after hip arthroscopy is strongly suggested, but different authors recommended different rehabilitation programs. There is not a defined program, but as of today, the current standard of care is composed of phase-based programs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impairments in squat depth have been reported in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). However, little is known about single-leg squat (SLS) performance in these patients, despite this task being commonly used in the rehabilitation and training settings. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The aims of this study were (1) to investigate whether patients with FAIS demonstrate differences in SLS performance compared with healthy controls and (2) to determine whether dynamic range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, hip morphologic measures, hip pain, and hip-specific function predict SLS performance in patients with FAIS. We hypothesized that patients with FAIS would demonstrate impaired SLS performance and that impaired hip biomechanics, muscle strength, and hip-specific function would predict squat performance in patients with FAIS. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Three-dimensional (3D) kinematic data were collected at 100 Hz using a 20-camera 3D motion capture system during 3 SLS trials in 34 patients with FAIS and 26 healthy controls. Isometric muscle strength was tested with a stationary handheld dynamometer in all participants. Squat performance was quantified by squat depth (in meters), and the biomechanical variables of dynamic ROM of the pelvis, the hip, the knee, and the ankle in all planes were calculated. In patients with FAIS, femoral and acetabular morphology were measured using radiographic alpha angles and lateral center-edge angles. Hip pain and hip-specific function were measured using the visual analog scale for pain and the Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living subscale, respectively. Two-tailed independent-samples t tests were used to determine between-group differences for squat depth, dynamic ROM variables, and muscle strength. A hierarchical multiple linear regression (MLR) model was used to determine whether biomechanical variables, muscle strength, hip morphology measures, hip pain, and hip-specific function were predictors of squat depth. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Version 26. RESULTS There were no between-group differences in age (FAIS, 30.0 ± 7.0 years vs controls, 27.3 ± 7.0 years; P = .18) or body mass index (FAIS, 23.1 ± 2.8 vs controls, 22.6 ± 3.2; P = .51). Squat depth was less in patients with FAIS compared with healthy controls (FAIS, 0.24 ± 0.4 m vs controls, 0.29 ± 0.05 m; P < .001). In the sagittal plane, patients with FAIS demonstrated less dynamic ROM of the hip (FAIS, 67.8°± 12.4° vs controls, 79.2°± 12.5°; P = .001) and the knee (FAIS, 71.9°± 9.4° vs controls, 78.9°± 13.2°; P = .02) compared with controls. Patients with FAIS also demonstrated a less dynamic coronal plane pelvis ROM (FAIS, 11.3°± 5.0° vs controls, 14.4°± 6.7°; P = .044). Patients with FAIS had reduced hip muscle strength of the hip external rotator (FAIS, 1 ± 0.3 N/kg vs controls, 1.2 ± 0.3 N/kg; P = .034), hip internal rotator (FAIS, 0.8 ± 0.3 N/kg vs controls 1 ± 0.3 N/kg; P = .03), and hip flexor (FAIS, 4 ± 1.1 N/kg vs controls, 4.8 ± 1.2 N/kg; P = .013) muscle groups. The hierarchical MLR revealed that the dynamic ROM of the hip, the knee, and the pelvis, the hip external rotation muscle strength, and the femoral alpha angles were all significant predictors of squat performance, and the final MLR model explained 92.4% of the total variance in squat depth in patients with FAIS. CONCLUSION Patients with FAIS demonstrate impaired SLS squat performance compared with healthy controls. This impaired squat performance is predominantly predicted by sagittal plane knee and hip biomechanics and hip external rotator strength, and less by frontal plane pelvic ROM and hip morphology in patients with FAIS. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Clinicians should focus treatment on improving dynamic ROM and hip external rotator muscle strength to improve squat performance; however, femoral morphology should also be considered in the treatment paradigm.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and labral pathology are associated with pain, decreased function, and hip strength deficits. Existing data are in conflict regarding when hip strength normalizes following arthroscopic treatment of FAI. The objective of this study was to identify preoperative hip strength relative to the contralateral hip not undergoing surgery as well as when postoperative strength in 4 functional muscle groups normalizes following arthroscopic treatment of FAI. Ninety-eight individuals with radiographic evidence of FAI and labral pathology underwent arthroscopic labral repair. Pre-surgical hip strength testing was performed in the symptomatic "surgical hip" and the contralateral "non-surgical hip." Hip strength measurements were repeated at 8 and 16 weeks postoperatively. Significant preoperative hip strength deficits were noted in the surgical hip compared with the non-surgical hip in flexion, extension, and adduction. At 8 weeks postoperatively, hip strength in the surgical hip improved to being equivalent to that in the non-surgical hip in adduction and extension, remained equivalent to that of the non-surgical hip in abduction, and decreased in flexion relative to the non-surgical hip. At 16 weeks, hip strength remained equivalent in the surgical hip and the non-surgical hip in abduction and adduction, but the surgical hip exceeded the non-surgical hip in extension. While flexion strength improved between 8 and 16 weeks postoperatively for the surgical hip, it had not fully recovered to that of the non-surgical hip. Using a structured postoperative rehabilitation protocol, abduction strength was maintained at 8 weeks postoperatively, while adduction and extension strength had improved to those of the non-surgical hip. At 16 weeks postoperatively, hip abduction and adduction had strength equivalent to those of the non-surgical hip. Despite preoperative improvement, flexion of the surgical hip lagged behind that of the non-surgical hip 16 weeks postoperatively. [Orthopedics. 2021;44(3):148-153.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteochondroplasty for cam femoroacetabular impingement is a common treatment to improve hip function and prevent joint degeneration. The purpose was to compare in-silico hip biomechanics during stair tasks in pre- and postoperative patients matched with healthy controls. METHODS Ten symptomatic cam femoroacetabular impingement patients performed stair ascent and descent pre- and 2 years postoperatively. Patients were age, and body-mass-index matched to controls. Full-body kinematics and kinetics were computed and, muscle and hip contact forces were estimated using musculoskeletal modeling and static optimization. Stance-phases were time-normalized and compared using statistical non-parametric mapping. FINDINGS Preoperatives showed lower hip abduction than controls during stairs ascent (76-100%, P = .007). Pre- and postoperative showed lower hip external rotation compared to controls on stair ascent (Pre-op vs controls: 71-100%, P = .005; Post-op vs controls: 72-100%, P = .01) and stair descent (Pre-op vs controls: 0-62%, P = .001; Post-op vs controls: 0-60%, P = .001). Postoperatives showed lower iliacus force compared to preoperative (1-3%, P = .012) and control (3-6%, P = .008), and higher gluteus maximus and piriformis forces compared to controls during stair descent. Lower postoperative anterior hip contact force (0-7%, P = .004) during descent, and superior (33-35%, P = .018) during ascent compared to controls were observed. Postoperative contact forces were medialized compared to preoperative (0-2%, P = .011) and controls (1-2%, P = .016). INTERPRETATION Forcing participants to adhere to standardized step length/rise minimized sagittal kinematic differences between conditions and groups. Persistent reduced hip external rotation postoperatively and minor muscle force adaptations led to reduced superior hip contact force during stair ascent and reduced anterior and more medialized contact forces during stair descent.

Hip arthroscopy and T-shaped capsular plication for the treatment of borderline dysplasia: a minimum 2-year follow-up. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND TRAUMATOLOGY 2021; 32:449-458. [PMID: 34009474 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-021-02997-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients treated arthroscopically for symptomatic borderline dysplasia of the hip (BHD) with a T-shaped capsular plication, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. METHODS Twenty-seven patients who had undergone hip arthroscopy and T-shaped capsular plication for symptomatic BHD were included in the study. All patients were clinically evaluated prior to surgery (T0) and at two consecutive follow-ups (T1: 12 ± 1.2 months; T2: 52.0 ± 23.2 months) using the visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, the Hip Outcome Score in activities of daily living (HOS-ADL) and sport-specific subscale (HOS-SSS), the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short Form-12 in its physical (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS). We also evaluated the presence of correlations and analysed the possible differences between subgroups. RESULTS We found a significant difference for HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, VAS and WOMAC with the Friedman test for repeated measures through time points (p < 0.0001), but not for MCS. All clinical scores reported a significant improvement compared to the previous time point (p < 0.05), with the exception of HOS-SSS, for which p = 0.2570 between T1 and T2. The body mass index was positively correlated with preoperative VAS (R = 0.42857; p = 0.0257) and negatively correlated with PCS at T0 (R = - 0.40999; p = 0.0337) and with PCS (R = - 0.40491; p = 0.0362), MCS (R = - 0.45939; p = 0.0159) and WOMAC (R = - 0.40573; p = 0.0216) at T2. No complications were reported in our cohort. CONCLUSIONS The results of the current study confirm that patients with intra-articular hip pathology and concomitant BHD (LCEA 20°-25°) can benefit from arthroscopic treatment and that T-shaped capsular plication is one of the available options. Orthopaedic surgeons specialising in hip arthroscopy should consider arthroscopy for the treatment of symptomatic BHD for stabilising and strengthening the joint. Future studies should focus on finding out which type of patients can benefit most from this procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV Prospective Case Series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare muscle forces and hip contact forces (HCFs) during squatting in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (cam-FAI) before and after hip corrective surgery and with healthy control participants. METHODS Ten symptomatic male patients with cam-FAI performed deep squatting preoperatively and at 2 years postoperatively. Patients were matched by age and body mass index to 10 male control participants. Full-body kinematics and kinetics were computed, and muscle forces and HCFs were estimated using a musculoskeletal model and static optimization. Normalized squat cycle (%SC) trials were compared using statistical nonparametric mapping (SnPM). RESULTS Postoperatively, patients with cam-FAI squatted down with higher anterior pelvic tilt, higher hip flexion, and greater hip extension moments than preoperatively. Preoperative patients demonstrated lower anterior pelvic tilt and lower hip flexion compared with the participants in the control group. Postoperative patients showed increased semimembranosus force compared with their preoperative values. Preoperative forces were lower than the control group for the adductor magnus, the psoas major, and the semimembranosus; however, the preoperative patients showed greater inferior gluteus maximus forces than the patients in the control group, whereas the postoperative patients did not differ from the control patients. Higher posterior, superior, and resultant HCF magnitudes were identified postoperatively in comparison with the preoperative values. Preoperative posterior HCF was lower than in the control group, whereas the postoperative posterior HCF did not differ from those in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Higher postoperative anterior pelvic tilt was associated with an indication of return to closer to normal pelvic motion, which resembled data from the control group. Lower preoperative anterior pelvic tilt was associated with muscle force imbalance, indicated by decreased semimembranosus and increased gluteus maximus forces. The overall increased postoperative muscle forces were associated with improved pelvic mobility and increased HCFs that were comparable with the control-group standards. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Muscle forces and HCFs may be indicative of postoperative joint health restoration and alleviated symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the feasibility of applying progressive resistance training (PRT) to patients with symptomatic external snapping hip (SESH). PURPOSE To investigate whether PRT is feasible in patients with SESH and to report changes to hip function, awareness of the hip joint and muscle strength following PRT. METHODS Feasibility was measured by drop-out rate, adverse events, pain exacerbation (VAS) and adherence to PRT. At baseline and the end of treatment, patients completed the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), maximal voluntary isometric (MVC) and dynamic hip muscle strength and a loaded stair test (LST). RESULTS Three out of nine included female patients (33%) dropped out. Pain scores were acceptable (VAS ≤ 50 mm) in 76% of all training sessions, and an overall decrease in pain during PRT was found (-10 mm, 95% CI [-3; -18]). For those who completed the intervention, training adherence was 97 ± 4%. Paired analyzes showed improvements in all HAGOS subscales, FJS, muscle strength and the LST. CONCLUSION Progressive resistance training seems feasible in a subset of patients with SESH despite a high drop-out rate. The present study suggests large effect sizes for hip pain, function, awareness and muscle strength.

Abstract
PURPOSE To measure the changes in athletic performance in athletes treated arthroscopically for femoroacetabular impingement and compare results to a matched controlled athletic cohort, over a 1-year period. METHODS Male athletes scheduled for arthroscopic correction of symptomatic FAI were recruited and tested (pre-operatively and 1-year postsurgery) for measures of athletic performance which included acceleration (10-m sprint), change of direction speed (CODS), squatting depth, and reactive strength index (RSI). The FAI group was compared to a matched, healthy, control group who were tested at baseline and 1 year later with no disruption to their regular training or competition status; the prevalence of anterior groin pain during testing in either group was recorded. Hip range of motion (ROM) was also measured for both groups at baseline and at 1 year in the FAI group to look for change following intervention. RESULTS Prior to surgery, the FAI group were slower than the control group (p < 0.001) for acceleration (3% slower) and CODS (10% slower). At 1 year, 91% of the FAI group returned to full competition at an average time of 17 weeks, while substantial reductions in pain were also noted during acceleration (51-6%, p = 0.004), CODS (62-8%, p = 0.001), and squat test (38-8%, p = 0.003). Significant improvements were seen in the FAI group for CODS (7%, p < 0.001) and squat depth measures (6%, p = 0.004) from baseline to 1 year (significant time × group interaction effects were noted for these also). The changes in performance in the control group over time were non-significant across all of the measures (n.s.). At 1-year postsurgery, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups for any of the athletic measures. There was a significant and clinically important improvement in range of hip motion in the FAI group at 1-year postsurgery (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Symptomatic FAI causes substantial reductions in athletic performance compared to healthy competitors placing these athletes at a distinct performance disadvantage. The results from the current study demonstrate that arthroscopic correction (including labral repair) in athletes with symptomatic FAI, reduces pain and restores athletic performance to a level which is comparable to healthy athletes, at 1 year.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare 3-D hip kinematics during the single-leg squat and step-down in patients with hip-related groin pain to those in asymptomatic participants, and to assess relationships among hip kinematics, muscle strength, and bony morphology. DESIGN Controlled laboratory cross-sectional study. METHODS Forty patients with hip-related groin pain and 40 matched, asymptomatic participants between 18 and 40 years of age participated. A handheld dynamometer was used to assess hip abductor and external rotator strength. An 8-camera motion-analysis system was used to quantify 3-D kinematics during the single-leg squat and step-down. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to quantify bony morphology. The independent t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to assess between-group differences. Pearson coefficient correlations were used to assess relationships. RESULTS Patients with hip-related groin pain had smaller peak hip flexion angles, smaller knee flexion angles, and lesser squat depth compared to asymptomatic participants during the single-leg squat. Among patients with hip-related groin pain, smaller hip flexion angles during the single-leg squat were associated with hip abductor weakness (r = 0.47, P≤.01). Among asymptomatic participants, smaller peak hip flexion angles during the single-leg squat were associated with less acetabular coverage (r = 0.33, P = .04) and shallow squat depth (r = 0.48, P≤.01); a smaller hip internal rotation angle during the step-down was associated with larger femoral neck shaft angle (r = -0.43, P<.01). CONCLUSION Compared to asymptomatic participants, patients with hip-related groin pain had smaller hip and knee flexion angles and shallower squat depth during the single-leg squat. Smaller hip flexion angles were associated with hip abductor weakness among those with hip-related groin pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(5):243-251.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) are young and middle-aged persons living physically active lives including sports activities. However, measurements of the physical activity level before and after hip arthroscopic surgery in patients with FAIS using both self-reported and objective accelerometer-based measures are lacking. Furthermore, comparing patients with a reference group of persons reporting no hip problems and conducting subgroup analyses investigating changes in physical activity level and self-reported outcomes according to pre-surgery activity level may further highlight the activity pattern for patients. METHODS Sixty patients with FAIS eligible for hip arthroscopic surgery were consecutively included in a prospective cohort study (HAFAI cohort) together with 30 reference persons reporting no hip problems. Participants completed the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) together with questions regarding their sports activities. Furthermore, participants wore a three-axial accelerometer for five consecutive days during waking hours. The accelerometer-based data were analysed and presented as total activity and type, frequency and duration of activities. RESULTS Patients experienced significant and clinically relevant changes in all HAGOS scores. 88% of patients participated in some kind of sports activity 1 year after surgery. Overall, objectively measured physical activity did not change from before to 1 year after surgery. However, subgroup analyses of the most sedentary patients preoperatively revealed significant changes towards a more active pattern. Compared to reference persons, patients performed less bicycling and running. CONCLUSION Despite clinically relevant changes in self-reported outcomes, patients did not increase their overall physical activity level 1 year after surgery. Physical activity levels were lower in patients than in the reference group and patients continued bicycling and running less compared with the reference group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
Patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) are diagnosed using imaging, but detailed description especially the acetabular shape is lacking and may help give more insight to the pathogenesis of FAIS. Furthermore, associations between patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and the radiological angles might highlight which radiological angles affect outcomes experienced by the patients. Hence, the aims of this study were (i) to describe computer tomography (CT) acquired angles in patients with FAIS and (ii) to investigate the association between radiological angles and the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) in patients with FAIS. Patients scheduled for primary hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS were included. Based on CT, following angles were measured before and 1 year after surgery; femoral anteversion, alpha, lateral centre edge, acetabular index, anterior sector, posterior sector and acetabular anteversion. All patients completed the HAGOS. Sixty patients (63% females) aged 36 ± 9 were included. One year after surgery, significant alterations in the alpha angle and the acetabular index angle were found. Neither baseline PROs nor changes in PROs were associated with the radiological angles or changes in angles. Since neither changes in CT angles nor baseline scores were associated with HAGOS, the improvements felt by patients must origin from somewhere else. These findings further underlines that morphological changes seen at imaging should not be treated arthroscopically without a patient history of symptoms and clinical findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze regional muscle CT density and bulk in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip dysplasia (HD) versus controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who obtained perioperative CT imaging for FAI and HD before surgery were retrospectively studied. Asymptomatic controls included for comparison. Two readers independently evaluated regional hip muscle [iliopsoas (IP), rectus femoris (RF), gluteus minimus (Gm), and medius (GM)] density, muscle area, and muscle circumference. Inter-observer reliability calculated using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS A consecutive series of 25 FAI patients, 16 HD patients, and 38 controls were recruited in the study. FAI patients had significantly greater Gm and GM circumferences as well as greater RF and IP areas on the normal side compared to the asymptomatic control group (p values 0.004, 0.032, 0.033, and 0.028, respectively). In addition, Gm and RF circumferences and RF area were significantly larger (p values 0.029, 0.036, and 0.014, respectively) in FAI patients on the affected side compared to the control group. HD patients had significantly smaller Gm and GM circumferences on the affected side than normal side measurements in FAI group (p values 0.043 and 0.003, respectively). Normal side GM circumference was also smaller in HD patients than normal side FAI hips (p value 0.02). There was no significant difference between the measurements on normal and abnormal sides in each disease group. No significant difference was found between measurements of HD compared to controls (p > 0.05). No muscle density differences were seen among different groups. There was moderate to excellent inter-reader reliability for all measurements except Gm muscle density. CONCLUSIONS Muscle analysis was able to quantify differences among patients with FAI, HD, and asymptomatic controls. These changes could indicate either a muscle imbalance contributing to the pathology or disuse atrophy, which may have implications for specific muscle-strengthening therapies and rehabilitation procedures in such patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to study dynamic hip external rotation strength in patients with Femoroacetabular impingement surgery (FAI) syndrome who have undergone unilateral arthroscopic treatment and returned to sports. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed using an observational group (n = 22) and a matched control group (n = 22). Dynamic external rotation strength of the hip was measured using the Augustsson Strength Test, which has shown high reliability for examining side-to-side differences in hip muscle strength. RESULTS Dynamic hip external rotation strength was significantly lower in the arthroscopically treated hip compared with the non-treated hip within the observational group (p < 0.004). CONCLUSION This cross-sectional study shows that at return to sports, patients who have undergone unilateral arthroscopic treatment for FAI syndrome do not have adequate hip muscle strength recovery. Rehabilitation protocols should, therefore, emphasise post-operative strength training of the hip muscles. Additional research is needed to determine the consequences of reduced hip strength for the long-term outcome after arthroscopically treated FAI. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results of this study underline the importance of post-operative strength training prior to returning to sports in patients with femoroacetabular impingement surgery.

[PMID: 31794897 PMCID: PMC7039761 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2019.11.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Revised: 10/02/2019] [Accepted: 11/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoroacetabular acetabular impingement syndrome consists of abnormal hip joint morphology resulting in painful hip joint impingement. Hip arthroscopy corrects the abnormal morphology and reduces clinical symptoms associated with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome yet the effects of hip arthroscopy on gait mechanics and cartilage health are not well understood. METHODS Ten femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients and 10 matched asymptomatic controls underwent gait analysis consisting of three-dimensional hip joint kinematics and kinetics. Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients underwent gait analysis and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of the surgical hip joint before and seven months post-surgery. Patient reported outcomes were obtained from all study participants and were used to quantify hip joint pain, function and quality of life. FINDINGS Prior to surgery, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients demonstrated hip joint kinematics or kinetics as the control group. After surgery, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients exhibited improved patient reported outcomes, similar hip joint kinematic patterns, increased hip flexion and decreased hip extension moment impulses within the surgical limb. The femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients that ambulated with increased HFMI post-surgery demonstrated a decrease in femoral cartilage T1ρ and T2 values. INTERPRETATION Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome patients exhibited improved clinical symptoms yet ambulated with altered sagittal plane hip joint loading after hip arthroscopy. Increased hip flexion moment impulse post-surgery was associated with improved cartilage health within the surgical limb. These study findings suggest that sagittal plane hip joint loading at short-term follow-up after hip arthroscopy is associated with cartilage health and may be an important biomechanical parameter in post-operative rehabilitation programs.

Return to Sport Rates in Physically Active Individuals 6 Months After Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome. J Sport Rehabil 2019; 28:570-575. [PMID: 29651906 DOI: 10.1123/jsr.2017-0138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2017] [Revised: 03/08/2018] [Accepted: 03/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Six months is the expected time frame to return to sport (RTS) after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). OBJECTIVE The primary aims of this study were to (1) report the RTS rate of physically active individuals 6 months after arthroscopic surgery for FAIS and (2) compare the self-reported hip function between those who were able to RTS against those who had not. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. PATIENTS A total of 42 physically active individuals scheduled for hip arthroscopy for FAIS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Self-reported function, including preinjury and current activity levels and ability to participate in sport, were collected on 42 individuals with FAIS prior to surgery and at 6-month follow-up. Participants were allocated into 2 groups based on self-reported RTS status at 6-month follow-up. Separate 2-way analyses of variance were used to test the interaction of groups (those who did/did not RTS). Main effects were reported in the absence of statistically significant interactions (P ≤ .05). RESULTS Altogether, 28 of 42 participants (66%) returned for 6-month follow-up; 5 of the 14 participants (35.7%) lost to follow-up underwent contralateral hip surgery within the study time frame. At the 6-month follow-up, 16 of the remaining 28 participants (57.1%) reported that they had returned to sport, 5 of whom returned at their prior level of participation. There was no statistically significant interaction of group and time for either hip outcome score subscale (P ≥ .20). Self-reported hip function improved over time, regardless of group (P ≤ .001). Participants in the yRTS group demonstrated higher hip outcome score-sport scores than did the nRTS group, regardless of time (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Though just over half of participants returned to sport 6 months after hip arthroscopy for FAIS, only 18% returned to their previous level of sports participation. Participants who returned to sport reported better function than those who did not, but self-reported hip function improved over time regardless of group. The most commonly reported reasons for not returning to sport were weakness (69.6%), fear (65.2%), and pain (56.5%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip pain is associated with reduced muscle strength, range of movement (ROM), and function. Hip arthroscopy is undertaken to address coexistent intra-articular pathologies with the aim of reducing pain and improving function. PURPOSE To evaluate changes in strength and ROM in a cohort with chondrolabral pathology before surgery to 3 and 6 months after hip arthroscopy. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS Sixty-seven individuals with hip pain who were scheduled for hip arthroscopy were matched with 67 healthy controls. Hip strength and ROM were collected preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Repeated measures analysis of variance evaluated whether strength and ROM differed between limbs and among time points. Bonferroni post hoc tests determined differences in hip strength and ROM among testing times and between the hip pain group and matched controls. RESULTS Hip extension, internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER), and adduction (P < .040) strength were greater at 3 months after surgery; all directions, including flexion, abduction, and squeeze, were greater at 6 months (P < .015). Hip flexion ROM was greater at 3 months after surgery (P = .013). Flexion, IR, and ER ROM was greater at 6 months (P < .041). At 6 months, IR ROM (P = .003) and flexion, IR, and ER strength (P < .005) remained less than matched controls. CONCLUSION With the exception of squeeze and flexion, all directions of hip strength and hip flexion ROM are significantly improved 3 months after arthroscopy to address chondrolabral pathology. By 6 months after arthroscopy, strength in all directions and flexion and rotation ROM are significantly improved in both limbs, but hip flexion, IR, and ER strength and IR ROM remain significantly less than that of healthy matched controls in both limbs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to reduce the development of hip osteoarthritis related to cam-type femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS), corrective surgery has evolved to become a safe and effective treatment. Although corrective surgery produces high level of patient satisfaction, it is still unclear how it affects muscle and hip contact forces during level walking. RESEARCH QUESTION The purpose was to compare the muscle force contributions and hip contact forces in patients before and after surgical correction for cam FAIS with healthy control (CTRL) individuals during level walking. METHODS Eleven male patients with symptomatic cam-type morphology, who underwent hip osteochondroplasty, had their level walking recorded pre- and at 2-year postoperatively. The patients were sex-, age-, BMI-matched to 11 CTRL individuals. Sagittal and frontal hip kinematics and kinetics were computed and, subsequently, muscle and hip contact forces were estimated using musculoskeletal modelling and static optimization. RESULTS Patient-reported outcomes improved postoperatively. The pre- and postoperative FAIS walked slower and with shorter steps than the CTRL. Postoperative biceps femoris (CTRL: 0.35 ± 0.13 N/BW; pre-op: 0.28 ± 0.11 N/BW; post-op: 0.20 ± 0.07 N/BW) and semimembranosus forces (CTRL: 0.77 ± 0.24 N/BW; pre-op: 0.66 ± 0.24 N/BW; post-op: 0.41 ± 0.14 N/BW) were lower at ipsilateral foot-strike. Postoperative rectus femoris force (CTRL: 1.73 ± 0.35 N/BW; pre-op: 1.44 ± 0.24 N/BW; post-op: 1.18 ± 0.23 N/BW) was lower than the other two groups, and the pre- and postoperative FAIS had lower iliacus (CTRL: 1.17 ± 0.18 N/BW; pre-op: 0.93 ± 0.16 N/BW; post-op: 0.94 ± 0.21 N/BW) and psoas (CTRL: 1.55 ± 0.24 N/BW; pre-op: 1.14 ± 0.38 N/BW; post-op: 1.10 ± 0.46 N/BW) muscle forces at contralateral foot-strike compared with the CTRL. Pre- and postoperative FAIS demonstrated lower peak hip contact loading resultant than the CTRL. SIGNIFICANCE The altered gait parameters observed in the preoperative FAIS was not restored after surgery, and was still away from the CTRL. It is possible that the reduced dynamic muscle forces of the biceps femoris, semimembranosus and rectus femoris postoperatively were associated with the protected mechanism that involved the iliopsoas preoperatively. This is an indication that the gait adaptations affected by the FAIS do not restore to normal after surgical correction at the 2-years follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported that persons with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) have diminished posterior tilt of the pelvis during functional tasks. It is not known how this movement impairment impacts pelvifemoral coordination during weightbearing and non-weightbearing movements. METHODS Fifteen persons with a diagnosis of FAIS and 15 matched controls performed a deep squat (weightbearing) and a maximum height stepping task (non-weightbearing). Peak hip flexion, posterior pelvis tilt excursion, and the ratio of sagittal plane pelvis to femur motion during the period of pelvis posterior tilt were calculated for each task. Two factor ANOVAs were used to evaluate differences between groups and tasks. FINDINGS With regards to peak hip flexion, there were no significant group differences for either task. When averaged across tasks, the FAIS group exhibited significantly less posterior tilt excursion (12.1° (SD 9.1°) vs 20.6° (SD 9.3°)) and smaller pelvifemoral ratios (0.24 (SD 0.14) vs 0.39 (SD 0.16)) compared to the control group. INTERPRETATION Persons with FAIS exhibit altered pelvifemoral coordination regardless of weightbearing status. This finding suggests that decreased hip and/or lumbopelvic mobility may contribute to altered movement patterns at the hip.

Editorial Commentary: Do Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Already Show Hip Muscle Atrophy? Arthroscopy 2019; 35:1454-1456.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy, fatty degeneration, and strength deficits of the hip abductors, flexors, and even external rotators are well-known clinical and radiologic findings in patients with advanced hip osteoarthritis. More recently, in the context of prearthritic hip diseases, the role of hip muscle function in femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has gained greater focus for hip surgeons. Several studies have shown that patients with FAIS present with activation deficits of the hip muscles, which may result in hip muscle weakness. Nevertheless, previous studies have yet to determine whether young and mainly active patients with FAIS already show hip muscle atrophy. Future research is required to further characterize hip muscle function in patients with FAIS. Of particular interest is the investigation of whether both qualitative (muscle fatty degeneration) and quantitative (muscle atrophy) morphologic alterations of the hip muscles are present in patients with FAIS, as well as whether these alterations are sex specific and/or related to the underlying hip morphology.

Abstract
Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) consists of abnormal hip joint morphology and pain during activities of daily living. Abnormal gait mechanics and potentially abnormal muscle forces within FAI patients leads to articular cartilage damage. Therefore, there is a necessity to understand the effects of FAI on hip joint muscle forces during gait and the link between muscle forces, patient reported outcomes (PRO) and articular cartilage health. The purposes of this study were to assess: (1) hip muscle forces between FAI patients and healthy controls and (2) the associations between hip muscle forces with PRO and cartilage composition (T1ρ/T2 mapping) within FAI patients. Musculoskeletal simulations were used to estimate peak muscle forces during the stance phase of gait in 24 FAI patients and 24 healthy controls. Compared to controls, FAI patients ambulated with lower vasti (30% body-weight, p = 0.01) and higher sartorius (4.0% body-weight, p < 0.01) forces. Within FAI patients, lower peak gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, sartorius and iliopsoas forces were associated with worse hip joint pain and function (R = 0.43-0.70, p = 0-0.04), while lower muscle forces were associated with increased T1ρ and T2 values (i.e. altered cartilage composition) within the hip joint cartilage (R = -0.44 to -0.58, p = 0.006-0.05). Although FAI patients demonstrate abnormal muscle forces, it is unknown whether or not these altered muscle force patterns are associated with pain avoidance or weak musculature. Further investigation is required in order to better understand the effects of FAI on hip joint muscle forces and the associations with hip joint cartilage degeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Identifying impairments in hip range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength in people with hip-related pain, without signs of femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). STUDY AIMS to determine if hip strength and ROM i) differs between the symptomatic and less-symptomatic hip of people with hip-related pain; and between people with hip-related pain and healthy controls; and ii) are associated with hip-related Quality of Life and pain. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Thirty participants with hip-related pain who were awaiting hip arthroscopy (22 women; age = 37 ± 10yrs), 32 healthy controls (19 women; age = 30 ± 10yrs). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hip ROM, muscle strength, pain intensity and the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) were assessed. RESULTS Less hip flexion ROM (p = 0.004), and extension (p = 0.004), abduction (p = 0.001) and internal rotation (IR) (p = 0.048) strength were measured on the symptomatic compared to non-symptomatic side. Hip-related pain participants had lower hip abduction strength (p = 0.045), and less flexion (p < 0.001), IR (p = 0.027) and external rotation (ER) (p = 0.019) ROM compared to controls. Less ER ROM (p = 0.03-0.04), and greater abduction (p = 0.03-0.04) and adduction strength (p = 0.02) were associated with better patient reported outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS Specific impairments in hip ROM and strength were identified in people with hip-related pain but no FAIS.
