Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • muscle strength

    The examiners assess the muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer (model 01165) for hip internal and external rotation, flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.

    Baseline

  • muscle strength

    The examiners assess the muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer (model 01165) for hip internal and external rotation, flexion, extension, abduction and adduction.

    up to 3 weeks

  • Physical function

    the examiners assess the physical function using the TImed Up and Go (TUG test) and the 40 meters-self-placed test .
