Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pelvic Drop Sign in degrees The Pelvic Drop Sign is measured at the beginning and after twelve weeks of intervention. The assessment takes place on a treadmill of hp cosmos type quasar med. With a three-dimensional (3D) inertial sensor system type Ultium Motion (Noraxon) the Pelvic Drop Sign will be measured. Therefore three sensors are placed with fixations straps around the pelvis and the thighs. Running speed is individually set by the subjects. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| maximal strength of the hip abductors (one repetition maximum): With a handheld dynamometer (Micro FET) the maximal strength of the hip abductor muscles will be measured in Newton. Therefore subjects are placed in a side-lying position on the treatment table. Cranial of the malleolus lateralis the handheld dynamometer is fixed on a specially constructed hardware. Subjects are instructed to perform a maximal strength against the dynamometer in hip abduction. | — |
