Abstract

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and accompanying pathologies are associated with pain and reduced quality of life. Physical impairments can be associated with worse symptoms and may be an important target of rehabilitation programmes in this patient group. Knowledge regarding physical impairments in individuals with symptomatic FAI is limited. In adults aged 18-50 years with symptomatic FAI, to: (1) identify physical impairments in range of motion (ROM), hip muscle function and functional tasks; (2) to compare physical impairments with healthy controls; and (3) to evaluate the effects of interventions targeting physical impairments. Systematic review. A systematic review of the literature was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The modified Downs and Black checklist was used for quality appraisal. Studies of adults aged 18-50 years with symptomatic FAI that examined ROM, hip muscle function and functional tasks were included. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) were calculated where possible or best evidence synthesis and study conclusions were presented. 22 studies fulfilled all inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was varied (47-82% using Downs and Black Appraisal Criteria). Hip joint ROM did not differ in individuals with symptomatic FAI compared with control participants. Individuals with symptomatic FAI demonstrated deficits in hip muscle strength and reduced dynamic balance on 1 leg when compared with control participants. For hip joint ROM, there were no significant within-group differences between preintervention and postintervention time points. Hip muscle strength improved significantly from prehip to posthip arthroscopy in a single case series. No randomised controlled trails evaluated the effect of different types of interventions for symptomatic patients with symptomatic FAI. Individuals with symptomatic FAI demonstrate impairments in hip muscle strength and dynamic single leg balance. This information may assist therapists in providing targeted rehabilitation programmes for individuals with FAI and associated pathology. Further research is needed to determine whether symptomatic FAI affects other aspects of functional performance; and to evaluate whether targeted interventions are effective in symptomatic FAI. This information may assist therapists in providing targeted rehabilitation programmes for individuals with symptomatic FAI.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 44. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 October 2021.
All research outputs
#960,770
of 25,587,485 outputs
Outputs from British Journal of Sports Medicine
#1,706
of 6,549 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,259
of 369,020 outputs
Outputs of similar age from British Journal of Sports Medicine
#52
of 121 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,587,485 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 96th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,549 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 67.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 369,020 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 121 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 57% of its contemporaries.
