Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The concept of mobilization with movement, also referred to as a Mulligan mobilization, has not been studied in patients with hip osteoarthritis, subsisting questions about the possible effects in this population. The aim of this randomized controlled study is to compare the immediate effects of Mulligan mobilization with movement technique of pain, range of motion and physical function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Mulligan original theory for the efficacy of a Mobilization With Movement (MWM) is based on the concept associated with a "positional joint failure," which occurs due to injury and may lead to a change in the joint alignment and hence its biomechanical resulting in symptoms such as pain, joint stiffness or weakness. To perform the MWM technique it is required to implement many criteria. During execution is applied an maintained accessory glide in order to correct the positional fault, while a physiological movement or action that usually caused the pain is performed actively or passively. A key component for the MWM is that pain should always be reduced and / or eliminated during application.

All study participants will be submitted to an initial assessment protocol to determine the intensity of pain, the range of motion (ROM) in flexion and internal rotation of the hip and the collection of physical function parameters. After that, the intervention will be performed for each group, and then the re-evaluation will be carried out (final evaluation), pain intensity, ROM and physical function tests..

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Real mobilization-with-movement (MWM)

In each volunteer of this group, the blind assessor will perform the pre-intervention measurements of intensity of pain, range of motion and physical function tests.

Next, the therapist will performed the real mobilization-with-movement. Then, all measurements, before described, will be repeated, by the assessor.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Real mobilization-with-movement (MWM)

Intervention Type OTHER

For the MWM group, the investigator applied two techniques of mobilization with movement: one for flexion and one for medial rotation of the hip. With the hip in flexion, a stabilizing belt was placed on the medial side of the participant's thigh closest to the joint interline. The belt was placed around the pelvic region of the physical therapist, keeping a perpendicular direction to the participant's thigh. Maintaining a side slip, it was carried out a passive movement of 1) hip flexion (3x10) and 2) medial hip rotation (3x10) by the physiotherapist throughout painless amplitude.

Sham mobilization-with-movement (MWM)

In each volunteer of this group, the blind assessor will perform the pre-intervention measurements of intensity of pain, range of motion and physical function tests.

Next, the therapist will performed the sham mobilization-with-movement. Then, all measurements, before described, will be repeated, by the assessor.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Sham mobilization-with-movement (MWM)

Intervention Type OTHER

In the sham group, the investigators conducted a technical simulation. The positioning of the patient and the physical therapist was the same, however, no accessory mobilization was performed with the help of the belt and did not performed repeated movements of passive flexion or medial rotation.
