简要总结
The aim of the study is to assess the immediate effects of passive hip joint mobilisation (in comparison to a sham mobilisation) on eccentric hip abductor/external rotator muscle strength on the basis of manual muscle testing with a hand-held-dynamometer within a double-blinded cross-over study design. Patients with anterior knee pain and signs of impaired hip function will be recruited in Vienna and surrounding area, measurements/data collection will be conducted by two experienced physiotherapists in a physiotherapy group practice in 1150 Vienna.

入选标准
- •diagnosis: anterior knee pain
- •Prescription for physiotherapeutic treatment of anterior knee pain
- •signs of functional hip impairment:
- •impaired hip kinematics during single leg squat
- •reduced passive hip joint mobility in comparison to the other, unaffected side
- •manually weak tested hip abductors/external rota-tors in comparison to the other, unaffected side
排除标准
- •intraarticular knee pathology
- •preceding trauma/operation of lower extremity on affected side
- •spinal disorders associated with low back pain, lumbar referred pain or nerve root irritation
- •severe and/or recurring ankle sprains in recent history (significant enough, that it required a period of immobilization)
- •other relevant comorbidities such as neurologic/rheumatologic/psychiatric diseases, osteoporosis and malign disorders
- •pregnancy
研究组 & 干预措施
Hip Joint Mobilization
passive accessory movement on femur in anterior/posterior direction, grade III for four minutes and passive physiological movement of the most restricted hip joint movement, grade III for one minute (without pain), and a verbal education of hypothesized underlying effect mechanisms.
干预措施: Joint Mobilization (Other)
Laying on of Hands
grade I, very small amplitude without encountering any tissue resistance for five minutes, thus effectively a Laying on of Hands, with a verbal education of hypothesized underlying effect mechanisms.
干预措施: Laying on of Hands (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
