Help Us Understand Hip and Groin Pain in Athletes: Intra-Rater Reliability of a Clinical Assessment Protocol for Hip and Groin Health in Young Athletes
Summary
We are doing a study to find out how consistently the same clinician can assess hip and groin health in young athletes using a series of tests. These include movement screening, strength testing, and clinical tests for signs of injury. Participants will come to our lab for two short visits (30 minutes each), one week apart. The goal is to improve how we identify and monitor hip and groin problems early in active youth and young adults.
