Conservative Intervention of Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
- Conditions
- Femoroacetabular Impingement
- Interventions
- Other: Manual therapyOther: ExerciseOther: Education and adviceOther: Supervised neglect
- Registration Number
- NCT02706756
- Lead Sponsor
- Duke University
- Brief Summary
1. Purpose: 1) compare three conservative treatment approaches for subjects with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI), and 2) analyze functional outcome comparatively across groups.
2. Interventions will be provided based on randomized assignment. Group 1 will receive treatment based on identified impairments and treated twice weekly to address said impairments with hip manual therapy and exercise, as well as a prescriptive exercise for strengthening and mobility of the hip. Group 2 will receive only the prescriptive exercise program. Group 3 will be a control group (supervised neglect)
3. Primary outcomes data analysis will involve a mixed design (repeated measures) ANOVA for assessment of the primary outcome measure of the HAGOS. Secondary analyses will include chi square analyses (PASS, surgery at 6 months, adverse events), ANCOVA (PPMs, and expectations measures), or other appropriate comparative measures. None of the proposed treatment is considered outside of 'standard of practice'.

Group Intervention Description Education, exercise and manual therapy Manual therapy One group will receive education and advice, manual therapy that is applied toward the impairments of the subject, a prescription of progressive rehabilitation exercises designed to strengthen weakened muscle groups and stretch joint movements that demonstrate range of motion limitations. Treatment is based on clinical presentation and identification of impairments by the treating clinician. Subjects will be seen twice weekly for 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the progression. All three groups will receive standardized education on the current state of FAI interventions (with both conservative and surgical care). All interventions will be provided by licensed physical therapists that are named as investigators in this study.

All interventions will be provided by licensed physical therapists that are named as investigators in this study. Education and exercise Education and advice Group will receive a prescriptive intervention designed to strengthen the hip and surrounding regions as well as improve flexibility of the lower extremity. This group will not receive additional physiotherapy management but will be schedule bi-weekly to review the home exercises and to receive appropriate educational support. All three groups will receive standardized education on the current state of FAI interventions (with both conservative and surgical care). All interventions will be provided by licensed physical therapists that are named as investigators in this study. Supervised neglect Education and advice Group will receive supervised neglect. We will monitor this group for changes or emergent situations but no formal care will be provided.
