Nonarthritic Hip Disease Evaluation And Treatment

Brief summary (from the registry)

The investigators aim to understand how interdisciplinary care influences decisions, expectations, and outcomes for patients with non-arthritic hip disease (NAHD). Patients presenting to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUWMC) Hip Preservation Clinic will be approached for participation. All participants will proceed with their scheduled, standard-care physician evaluation. Participants without NAHD will be excluded. Participants will then be randomized to receive a same-day physical therapist (PT) evaluation. This PT evaluation is not a standard-care practice in the clinic, this was added for research. All participants will complete expectation surveys before and after their evaluation(s). The clinicians will discuss their recommended plan with the patient and the patient will record a final treatment decision and outcome expectations. Participants will then be randomized to either receive posture and movement training (PMT) for 3 weeks or undergo a 3-week wait period. All participants will be required to withhold any treatment during this 3-week period (except PMT in the PMT group). The 3-week wait period for the no-PMT group is aligned with current clinical processes for time from physician evaluation to start of treatment. All participants may proceed with any further interventions (including PMT) after the 3-week period, but none will be provided/required as part of research. Patient-reported outcomes and clinical tests will be recorded before and after the 3-week period, and 3 and 6 months later. Adding a PT evaluation to the physician visit provides no additional risk because the PT evaluation includes similar clinical tests to the physician and movement analysis during tasks participants complete during daily life. Clinical tests before/after the 3-week intervention period may produce muscle soreness that should resolve within 2 days. Understanding how interdisciplinary care influences expectations and outcomes can inform clinicians regardin…
