Brief Summary

This observational study aims to analyze hip rotator strength and range of motion, comparing measurements taken with the hip positioned at 90° and 0°. Clinical history data, as well as hip strength and range of motion measurements, will be collected during the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.

Conditions

Hip Joint

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Hip Rotation Strength

  Maximal isometric strength of the hip internal and external rotator muscles measured at 0° and 90° of hip flexion.

  At the time of assessment (single study visit)

• Hip Rotation Range of Motion

  Passive range of motion for hip internal and external rotation measured at 0° and 90° of hip flexion.

  At the time of assessment (single study visit)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 50 Years
• Sex: male
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
