- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method •Running biomechanics of the knee and hip. Expressed in peak angles of external knee abduction, hip adduction and contralateral pelvicdrop measured with a motion capture system.<br /><br>•Hip strength. Expressed in KG normalized to the patients’ body composition. Measured with a hand held dynamometer.<br>
