Exercise therapy in patients with hip osteoarthritis: Effect on hip muscle strength and safety aspects of exercise—results of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

The Tübingen exercise therapy approach has shown to have a significant positive effect on HMS. Its implementation has shown to be feasible and safe according to the percentage of exercise participation and the absence of sustainable adverse events.

Exercise induced effects on muscle function and range of motion in patients with hip osteoarthritis

“…None of the studies showed between‐group difference for changes in leg extensor power (Juhakoski et al, ) or isokinetic concentric muscle strength of the knee and hip muscles (Svege et al, ). Conversely, a more recent study (Steinhilber, Haupt, Miller, Janssen, & Krauss, ) showed that strengthening exercises with the use of elastic bands supervised once weekly for 12 weeks versus no exercise resulted in a significant positive effect on hip muscle strength. However, in that study, it was not stated that outcome assessors were blinded to group allocations.…”

Does low back pain or leg pain in gluteus medius syndrome contribute to lumbar degenerative disease and hip osteoarthritis and vice versa? A literature review

“…Significant improvements in pain (VAS/WOMAC) and function (WOMAC) Steinhilber B et al 136) Patients with hip OA (n=70)…”

“…Moreover, EMG activity of the GMed was significantly increased 109,120,124) . In terms of treatment of hip OA, physiotherapy and manual therapy involving the hip abductors significantly improved hip function and relieved pain (Table 8) [134][135][136] .…”

Progressive resistance training in patients with hip dysplasia: A feasibility study

“…Despite the generally positive effects of exercise on muscle strength and physical function in hip OA (10)(11)(12)(13)(14) and in patients with groin pain (15,16), exercise has only attracted little attention as a treatment to relieve symptomatic HD. Moreover, improving hip muscle strength preoperatively may be an effective way to optimize function and the outcome of PAO (17,18).…”
