An interventional study of Hip Exercise Program in Hip Dysplasia and Femoro Acetabular Impingement, sponsored by Swinburne University of Technology. Recruiting at 1 site in Australia. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-05-12.
Sponsored by Swinburne University of Technology · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Hip injuries are reported to account for 71% and 29% of all injuries reported in female and male performers, respectively, at the National Institute of Circus Arts. There are no reports on hip pathology in circus performers, nor are there any reported exercise interventions for hip pain in circus performers.
This study aims to:
To assess the effect of an exercise rehabilitation program on patient-reported outcome measures, hip strength and range of movement, and functional assessments in circus arts students with clinically and radiologically diagnosed hip pain-related disorders.
Participants will undertake a 12-week strength exercise protocol that has been specifically designed to focus on hip rehabilitation appropriate for circus performance. Expected outcome: Improvements in patient reported outcome measure (PROM) scores and an increase in function, strength and hip range of movement in people with hip pain

Exclusion Criteria:
A 12-week strength exercise protocol has been specifically designed to focus on hip rehabilitation appropriate for circus performance.
Other: Hip Exercise Program
The exercise intervention is being implemented 3 times per week. Two sessions can be completed at home by the participant, and one session per week will be attended by a physiotherapist that will monitor exercise technique and progress the exercise program for each participant. The exercise protocol has been specifically designed to focus on hip rehabilitation appropriate for circus performance. The exercise program will involve hip strength exercises in the sagittal, coronal and transverse planes using weights and elastic bands (Theraband). It will also include trunk strength and postural correction exercises to address swayback posture which is a common clinical presentation in those with hip dysplasia.

Functional movement screen Y-balance test
This will measure a circus performers capacity to stand on one leg and reach their opposite leg as far as possible forwards, backwards and sideways. This provides a measure of both strength and flexibility, has been used in prior hip research, and shown to have excellent intra and inter-rater reliability.

Single leg Hop for distance
The distance of a participant hop will be measured, taking off and landing on the same foot, maintaining their balance for about 2-3 seconds on landing. The best of three hops will be recorded.
