Abstract

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is characterized by chondrolabral damage and hip pain. The specific biomechanics used by people with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome during daily activities may exacerbate their symptoms. Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome can be treated nonoperatively or surgically; however, differential treatment effects on walking biomechanics have not been examined. Purpose: To compare the 12-month effects of physical therapist–led care or arthroscopy on trunk, pelvis, and hip kinematics as well as hip moments during walking. Study Design: Secondary analysis of multi-centre, pragmatic, two-arm superiority randomized controlled trial subsample; Le..
