“…The anterior femoral glide syndrome suggested by Sahrmann 8 ) is one of the dysfunctional accessory movements of the hip joint. Anterior femoral glide syndrome can be evaluated by assessing the extent to which the GT translates to the anterior during the prone hip extension test 8 ) that is frequently used as a clinical tool 30 , 31 ) and palpation of GT has the potential for error 32 ) . Thus, a study of GT displacement for examination of hip joint problems is warranted.…”

[Purpose] The greater trochanter (GT) is an important structure in biomedical research, but the measurement methods require development. This study presents data from a new measurement method that does not use GT-marker-based measurement (No GT-m) in comparison with GT-marker based measurement (GT-m). [Subjects and Methods] We recruited 20 healthy subjects, who were asked to perform and maintain a prone position and then move to the prone hip extension. A motion capture system collected the kinematic data and the location of the GT was calculated by two measurements. [Results] GT migration distance differed significantly between the two measurements and the coefficient of the variation value was lower for the No GT-m method. Thigh lengths of the No GT-m method were comparable to the original lengths. There were significant differences between the GT-m and the other methods. [Conclusions] These data suggest that the GT-m method yielded a lower precision with a smaller GT migration distance. In the comparison of thigh length, the No GT-m method was in close agreement with the original length. We suggest that determining the location of the GT using the No GT-m has greater accuracy than the GT-m method.
