Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a mobilization with movement (MWM) technique performed by a physical therapist with those of a dynamic stretch with over pressure on active hip flexion range of motion (ROM) in those with active hip flexion ROM limitations. There is limited evidence available in the literature examining the therapeutic effects of MWM at the hip, the long term effects of MWM, or whether one modality is more effective than another. This study seeks to address these gaps in the literature by directly comparing the results of these two manual therapy interventions on active hip flexion ROM.
This study is looking to address the effectiveness of three different intervention on hip range of motion. There will be a therapist performed mobilization group, a self mobilization group, and a dynamic stretching group. Participants will be recruited from the University of South Carolina and randomly assigned between the three groups to have equal distribution and limit any biases. Participants will come in on two different days in order to receive the intervention on the first and have hip range of motion measured on both days. The investigators will be assessing if there is any significant difference between the three groups.
