Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to assess the immediate effects of passive hip joint mobilisation (in comparison to a sham mobilisation) on eccentric hip abductor/external rotator muscle strength on the basis of manual muscle testing with a hand-held-dynamometer within a double-blinded cross-over study design. Patients with anterior knee pain and signs of impaired hip function will be recruited in Vienna and surrounding area, measurements/data collection will be conducted by two experienced physiotherapists in a physiotherapy group practice in 1150 Vienna.

Study Groups

Hip Joint Mobilization

passive accessory movement on femur in anterior/posterior direction, grade III for four minutes and passive physiological movement of the most restricted hip joint movement, grade III for one minute (without pain), and a verbal education of hypothesized underlying effect mechanisms.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Joint Mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Manual Therapy Intervention, commonly used by physiotherapists

Laying on of Hands

grade I, very small amplitude without encountering any tissue resistance for five minutes, thus effectively a Laying on of Hands, with a verbal education of hypothesized underlying effect mechanisms.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Laying on of Hands

Intervention Type OTHER

Sham Hip Joint Mobilization

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* diagnosis: anterior knee pain
* Prescription for physiotherapeutic treatment of anterior knee pain
* signs of functional hip impairment:
* impaired hip kinematics during single leg squat
* reduced passive hip joint mobility in comparison to the other, unaffected side
* manually weak tested hip abductors/external rota-tors in comparison to the other, unaffected side

Exclusion Criteria

* intraarticular knee pathology
* preceding trauma/operation of lower extremity on affected side
* spinal disorders associated with low back pain, lumbar referred pain or nerve root irritation
* severe and/or recurring ankle sprains in recent history (significant enough, that it required a period of immobilization)
* other relevant comorbidities such as neurologic/rheumatologic/psychiatric diseases, osteoporosis and malign disorders
* pregnancy
