Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physical function	up to 3 weeks	the examiners assess the physical function using the TImed Up and Go (TUG test) and the 40 meters-self-placed test .
muscle strength	up to 3 weeks	The examiners assess the muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer (model 01165) for hip internal and external rotation, flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.
Functional capacity with a validated questionnaire (WOMAC)	Up to 3 weeks	The examiners assess pain, stifness and functional capacity using the Western Ontario y McMaster Questionnaire
Pain intensity	up to 3 weeks	The examiners assess pain intensity after physical function tests using visual analogue scale
