Groin Pain, Hip Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
There is currently limited literature on a categorized physical therapy protocol for management of hip pain. Only a handful of studies have looked at the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip with a standardized physical therapy treatment, primarily looking at manual therapy versus exercise therapy protocols. However, there are no studies observing the effect of a standardized physical therapy program on patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain. Based on the gap in the literature, this study will aim to assess the effect of matrix-based standard of care therapy in patients presenting with non-arthritic hip and groin pain.
Interventions
OTHERMatrix-based physical therapy
Matrix-based physical therapy will be physical therapy that is based on the matrix categorization of the patient (stiff vs. mobile hips, weak vs. strong hips) and involves instructions on the amount of time that should be spent doing stretching and strengthening therapy.
OTHERStandard-of-care physical therapy
Physical therapy that is being conducted as standard-of-care

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| iHOT-12 (International Hip Outcome Tool-12) | Up to 6 months | iHOT-12 is used to assess quality of life in patients with hip disorders. Scores range from 0 to 100; a higher score represents a better quality of life. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| NRS (numerical rating scale) pain | Up to 6 months | NRS pain will be used to assess pain. Scores range from 0-10, with 10 representing the worst pain imaginable. |
| Home exercise completion | Up to 6 months | This will be defined as the number of times patients completed their home exercises during the previous week. |
