Abstract
Objectives
Examine the effects of hip-focused strengthening and task-specific movement training for a female who has undergone multiple surgical procedures yet continues to experience chronic, recurrent FAIS-related symptoms.
Study design
Case Report.
Methods
A 23-year-old active female with an eleven-year history of FAIS and two previous surgical procedures recently experienced a third recurrence of symptoms brought on by increased physical activity levels. The patient performed progressive exercises focused on improving hip extension, abduction, and external rotation strength. The patient also received task-specific movement training aimed at minimizing hip adduction and internal rotation during movement that provoked her symptoms.
Results
Following treatment, the patient's self-reported hip pain during movement improved 2.2 points and was abolished during four of the five activities examined. The patient exhibited strength gains for the hip extensors (22 %), abductors (36 %), and external rotators (20 %). The patient exhibited decreased hip adduction during all activities (mean difference = 10.6°) and decreased hip internal rotation during three of the five activities (mean difference = 3.7°).
Conclusion
This case report highlights the effects of hip-focused strengthening and task-specific movement training for a patient with longstanding FAIS and multiple surgical procedures.
期刊介绍:
Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science.
The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
