Categorized PT for Non-arthritic Hip and Groin Pain

Assessment of a Categorized Physical Therapy Protocol for Non-arthritic Hip and Groin Pain: a Randomized Controlled Study

Sponsor

Hospital for Special Surgery, New York

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Dec 2, 2020

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Hip pain Groin pain

Summary

There is currently limited literature on a categorized physical therapy protocol for management of hip pain. Only a handful of studies have looked at the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip with a standardized physical therapy treatment, primarily looking at manual therapy versus exercise therapy protocols. However, there are no studies observing the effect of a standardized physical therapy program on patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain. Based on the gap in the literature, this study will aim to assess the effect of matrix-based standard of care therapy in patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain.

Interventions

OTHERMatrix-based physical therapy

Matrix-based physical therapy will be physical therapy that is based on the matrix categorization of the patient (stiff vs. mobile hips, weak vs. strong hips) and involves instructions on the amount of time that should be spent doing stretching and strengthening therapy.

OTHERStandard-of-care physical therapy

Physical therapy that is being conducted as standard-of-care
