Study Overview

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).

Inclusion Criteria

  • Males and Females.
