Brief summary (from the registry)

Intra-articular, prearthritic hip disorders (PAHD) result in substantial dysfunction in young adults and are proposed precursors to hip osteoarthritis (OA). Effective treatment of PAHD is needed to improve function in the young adult and prevent or delay the onset of hip OA, however evidence related to treatment of PAHD is limited. This research will provide the foundation for a future clinical trial to assess the efficacy of movement pattern training, an innovative rehabilitation approach for the treatment of PAHD.
