Hip Muscle Strength in FAI Versus Normal Controls
- Conditions
- Femoro-acetabular Impingement
- Registration Number
- NCT02697097
- Brief Summary
Hip Muscle Strength in femoro-acetabular impingement participants versus normal controls.
To investigate the hip muscle strength in a normal control group and compare this to patients who have a diagnosis of femoro-acetabular impingement (diagnosed clinically and with confirmed radiological features).
