Overview

Brief Summary

Hip injuries are reported to account for 71% and 29% of all injuries reported in female and male performers, respectively, at the National Institute of Circus Arts. There are no reports on hip pathology in circus performers, nor are there any reported exercise interventions for hip pain in circus performers.

This study aims to:

To assess the effect of an exercise rehabilitation program on patient-reported outcome measures, hip strength and range of movement, and functional assessments in circus arts students with clinically and radiologically diagnosed hip pain-related disorders.

Participants will undertake a 12-week strength exercise protocol that has been specifically designed to focus on hip rehabilitation appropriate for circus performance. Expected outcome: Improvements in patient reported outcome measure (PROM) scores and an increase in function, strength and hip range of movement in people with hip pain

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 3-month history hip/groin pain +/- symptoms including clicking, giving way, locking, or catching, one or more of a positive
  • positive FADIR pain provocation test
  • positive HEER test (hip extension and external rotation)
  • positive prone instability test
  • imaging to support a pathological hip (e.g., CAM morphology, hip dysplasia)

Exclusion Criteria

  • OA degree \>1 on classification of Tönnis
  • Centre Edge-angle \<10 degrees
  • Legg-Calvé-Perthes or epiphysiolysis
  • history of hip joint surgery or significant hip trauma (fracture +/- dislocation)
  • neurologic motor deficit (lower limb power, strength or reflex deficit)
  • hip pain from a lumbar origin (positive passive straight leg raise, combined lumbar extension and rotation)
  • connective tissue disorder (e.g., Ehlers-danlos or Marfan syndrome)
  • pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

European Quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)

Time Frame: 9-months

Patient Reported Outcome Measure

Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK)

Time Frame: 9-months

Patient Reported Outcome Measure

Hip Strength assessment

Time Frame: 9-months

Strength of hip abduction, adduction, sitting hip flexion at 90deg, prone extension with knee extended, prone external and internal rotation will be measured using a hand-held dynamometer.

Hip Range of Motion

Time Frame: 9-months

Hip flexion, Hip internal rotation and external rotation will be measured using an inclinometer

The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS)

Time Frame: 9-months

Patient Reported Outcome Measure, score on 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme hip and/or groin problems and 100 representing no hip and/or groin problems.

International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12)

Time Frame: 9-months

Patient Reported Outcome Measure scored using a visual analog scale from 0 to 100, with a score of 100 being the best function and least amount of symptoms

Secondary Outcomes

  • Trunk Muscle Endurance Test(9-months)
  • One leg rise test(9-months)
  • Single leg Hop for distance(9-months)
  • Functional movement screen Y-balance test(9-months)
