the Horsens Aarhus FemoroAcetabular Impingement Syndrome Training Pilot Study
- Conditions
- Femoroacetabular Impingement
- Interventions
- Procedure: Physiotherapist-led training
- Registration Number
- NCT05031390
- Lead Sponsor
- Horsens Hospital
- Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a training intervention in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS).
- Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a 12-weeks (progressive) exercise program in patients with FAIS. Feasibility is evaluated on the recruitment strategy, patient adherence to the exercises and their experiences with and motivation for performing exercises. Furthermore, the investigators wish to investigate the variation of data before and after the exercise program to help estimate a suitable sample size for a future randomized controlled trial.

The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) Change from 0-12 weeks HAGOS is a questionnaire developed for young, active persons experiencing hip and/or groin pain. It consists of 6 subscales: Pain, Symptoms, Activities of Daily Living, Sport, Participation in Sport and Hip-related quality of life. The main subscales used in this study are HAGOS pain and sport.
The Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) Change from 0-12 weeks Current physical activity measured from 0 to 8 points, 0 being no activity and 8 being an athlete
Patient Acceptable Symptom State 0-12 weeks Patient Acceptable Symptom State (yes/no): Change in number of patients reporting yes vs. no from baseline to 12 weeks
The International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33) Change from 0-12 weeks iHOT-33 is a questionnaire focussing at patients' hip related quality of life in 33 questions. Both a total score and sub scales: "Symptoms and functional limitations", "Sports and recreational activities", "Job related concerns" and "Social, emotional and lifestyle concerns", are extracted from the questionnaire.
