简要总结
Groin injuries are among the three most common and time-consuming injuries in soccer, accounting for 19% of all injuries, with 0.1-2.1 injuries per 1000 hours of play. The Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) has been showing promising results in improving Eccentric Hip Adduction Strength (EHADS), leading to reducing the risk of groin pain and injury. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of CAE on adductors strength, hip joint range of motion (ROM), and Patient-reported outcome measures among athletes with groin pain or injury.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Does the CAE improve EHAD strength, hip joint ROM, and patient-reported outcome measures among soccer players with groin pain or injury?
Researchers will assess the participants' pre and post-intervention to determine the effects of CAE on adductors strength, hip joint ROM, and Patient-reported outcome measures.
详细描述
Study design: A Double-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial.
Researchers will allocate a specific number for each participant for randomization. Then, an online website will be applied to randomize these numbers into two groups, intervention and control groups. An independent person not involved in the study will allocate the participants using concealed opaque envelopes.
Study setting:
This study will be held at different physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic, ministry of health, Saudi Arabia
Recruitment and study population:

结局指标
主要结局
Change in hip joint range of motion measures from baseline
时间窗: At the end of the intervention sessions (8 weeks)
Hip joint ROM can be reliably assessed using a goniometer. The assessor will perform an internal and external hip joint range of motion testing with the subject supine and the hip and knee in 90 degrees of flexion pre-and post-testing will be performed. An assistant will be used to ensure that the hip and knee remain in their proper positions. The affected leg will be rotated to the maximum range of passive internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER), and abduction movement (ABD). The standard goniometer will be used to make the measurements, and the testing period will be approximately ten minutes.
Change in eccentric hip adduction strength from baseline
时间窗: At the end of the intervention sessions (8 weeks)
A portable hand-held dynamometer (microFET2) will be used for the test. A blind physiotherapist will perform pre and post-testing. Each patient's affected leg will be tested. The examiner will position the hand-held dynamometer 5 cm proximal to the most prominent part of the medial malleolus. Eccentric hip adduction strength will be measured in a break test with the patient in a side-lying position, with the leg being tested in a straight position. The participant will perform a 3-5 second isometric maximum voluntary contraction against the dynamometer before the physiotherapist performs a contraction break to determine the eccentric hip adduction strength. The patient will complete one practice trial before three maximal tests are performed, with the best result recorded. The standardized command by the examiner will be "go ahead-push-push-push-push-push." Leg length will be used to calculate torque and be adjusted to body mass (Nm/kg).
