Lumbar Thrust-mobilization Effects on Hip Strength & Anterior Knee Pain

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in lateral hip muscle strength as well as self-reported pain during the performance of three functional tests in patients with anterior knee pain following a lumbopelvic thrust-mobilization.

Hypothesis(es):

Lumbar thrust-mobilization will lead to increased lateral hip strength and decreased anterior knee pain during 3 functional activities (single leg step down, functional squat, drop jump).

Clinical Trial Description

The participant will complete a medical history form and undergo a brief physical exam of the lumbar spine and knees to include: lumbar range of motion and mobility testing, knee range of motion, palpation, and knee mobility testing. The participant will complete a hip strength test utilizing the Biodex System 4 Pro®. The participant will then perform three activities (single leg step down, squat, and drop jump from a 2 foot platform) and provide a self-reported knee pain measure with each activity. A sealed envelope indicating the intervention to be received will be given to the participant. An investigator blinded to the pre and post-measures will open the envelope indicating the intervention to be performed. The participant will be blinded to which intervention group they are categorized to. Th e participant will be positioned on a high-low treatment table to receive the assigned intervention. The participant will be positioned to receive either intervention 1 (thrust mobilization) or 2 (sham mobilization). The participant will either receive the thrust-mobilization or sham mobilization up to 2 times on the left and right side. An immediate re-test of hip strength will be conducted followed by performing the same three functional activities (single leg step down, squat, and drop jump from a 2 foot platform) while providing a self-reported pain measure after each activity. Follow-up measures at 15 minutes post-intervention and the final measure at 30 minutes post-intervention will be performed. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
