Conditions

Trochanteric bursitis. Gluteal tendinitis.

Interventions

The protocol of motor control exercises will consist of exercises to strengthen the abductor and extensor muscles of the hip, as well as stabilization training during challenging hip movements. The ge

Eligibility

Sex/Gender
Female
Age
25 Years to 70 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Being female. Volunteers must be between 25 and 70 years old. Present pain and chronic lateral tenderness in the hip greater than or equal to 3 months. Pain in at least 1 of the 7 provocative pain tests which is intended to transmit compressive or tension forces in the hip abductor muscles tendons. Do not engage in regular physical activity and present comparable demographic data between groups.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Present body mass index greater than 36kg / m2. Have received some type of invasive intervention to reduce pain in the evaluated region in the last year. Physical therapy intervention in the last 3 months. Present limitation in the range of motion of the spine and hip or lower limbs that disables gait. Present limitation in the range of motion that disables tests or training. Any disease that affects the neuromuscular system or that may prevent data collection. Spinal or hip surgery. Any infectious or neoplasic condition. Can not compromise with the weeks of training.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Pain and disability reduction in both groups, assessed through visual analogic scale, perceived global effect scale and pain-related questionnaires, catastrophizing pain scale, Tampa kinesiophobia scale, international hip outcome tool and Brazilian Portuguese central sensitization inventory. Follow-ups will occur after 8, 26 and 60 weeks after randomization. The follow-ups are intended to assess the therapeutic effect in the short, medium and long term

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Increased strength of hip abductor and extensor muscles in both groups, but mainly in the strengthening and motor control group, due to the exclusive focus on these muscle groups. This information will be evaluated using the manual dynamometer. Follow-ups will occur after 8, 26 and 60 weeks after randomization. The follow-ups are intended to assess the therapeutic effect in the short, medium and long term;Increased electromyographic activity of hip abductor and extensor muscles during gait at preferred speed and maximum speed. Follow-ups will occur after 8, 26 and 60 weeks after randomization. The follow-ups are intended to assess the therapeutic effect in the short, medium and long term;Decreased electromyographic activity of the internal oblique and lumbar multifidus muscles during gait, at the preferred and maximum speeds, preferably in the group that will perform motor control training and strengthening. Follow-ups will occur after 8, 26 and 60 weeks after randomization. The follow-ups are intended to assess the therapeutic effect in the short, medium and long term
