Pelvic and hip kinematics during single-leg drop-landing are altered in sports participants with long-standing groin pain: A cross-sectional study

Changes in the kinetics and kinematics of a reactive cut maneuver after successful athletic groin pain rehabilitation

“…Given the preceding sub‐acute profile and recurrence rates, recent studies have examined multi‐planar whole‐body movement to investigate potential injury mechanisms and monitor changes after a rehabilitation intervention to better understand the biomechanics associated with the presence of and recovery from AGP 14‐19 . The main focus of the research in this area to date has been on change of direction maneuvers, as these are ubiquitous in field sports and most commonly noted as provocative in AGP populations, 4,20,21 but jumping and landing tasks have also been investigated 17‐19 . Many of the reported prospective risk factors for AGP are associated with impaired neuromuscular function and joint excursion at the hip, such as weakness in the adductor musculature and decreased range of motion.…”

Clinical Examination, Diagnostic Imaging, and Testing of Athletes With Groin Pain: An Evidence-Based Approach to Effective Management

“…93 Continuing to train and play with groin pain can result in movement compensation strategies, resulting in decreased function and performance. 24,27,41,56,57,93 Therefore, in addition to the use of pain-provocation tests, 69,92 joint ROM, muscle strength, function, and performance must be systematically assessed (FIGURE 4) 69 and the appropriate patientreported outcome measures must be completed (FIGURE 5).…”

The refinement and validity evaluation of a 2-Dimensional motion capture method to quantify lumbo-pelvic-hip complex motion in chronic low back pain

“…As such observed activity of these gluteal muscles during daily functional activities such as lifting [38], standing, walking, stair climbing [39,40] and sit-to-stand [41], support their proposed stability role for the pelvis during weight bearing tasks [42]. It is on this basis that performance during motion control tests of the pelvis is often thought to reflect gluteal muscle function (or impairment), and this relationship is further explored in Chapter [6]. During gait, individuals with femoroacetabular impingement exhibit reduced range of motion of the pelvis in the frontal plane compared to controls [4] as well as reduced sagittal pelvic rotation range of motion during squatting [5].…”

“…'It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter' Proverbs 25:2 Table 3- Aberrant movement control of the pelvic girdle is reported in a range of musculoskeletal conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6] including chronic low back pain (CLBP). Changes in pelvic motion in individuals with CLBP compared to those without CLBP, is thought to reflect altered movement strategies in these individuals, potentially reflective of challenged physical stability, altered motor coordination, and or pain related fear avoidance behaviour.…”

“…Future research could also explore the usefulness of the refined 2D motion capture system in other conditions with reported aberrant pelvic motion. For example, individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome exhibit greater contralateral pelvic drop during certain movement tasks [1-3], while individuals with chronic groin pain [6] and femoroacetabular impingement [4,5] also demonstrate altered pelvic motion. Potentially, individuals with these conditions represent a more athletic-based population where video based analysis may be more widespread.…”
