The gait pattern is not impaired in subjects with external snapping hip: a comparative cross-sectional study

Abstract: BackgroundSymptomatic external snapping hip is a painful condition, where pain in the trochantor region and limitations of daily activity dominate clinical findings. The aetiology of symptomatic external snapping hip is elusive, but previous studies have suggested that weakness of the hip abductors and an altered walking pattern may play a role in the development of symptomatic external snapping hip. The aim of this study was to compare the walking pattern and muscular activity of the hip muscles between subje… Show more

“…This would be expected given that external snapping hip has not been shown to negatively impact walking gait patterns. Jacobsen et al 7 assessed the gait pattern of those with symptomatic external snapping hip and compared it to a matched 1:1 control cohort in cross sectional study ( n = 26). All patients were evaluated by motion monitors and had their muscle activity measured by electromyography (EMG).…”

“…1,6 Although it may be asymptomatic, this condition may be associated with marked pain and limitation. 1,5,7 Typically, nonoperative management consisting of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, and activity modification allow for pain relief and return to daily activities. 1,8 If this fails, ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections into the trochanteric space may be utilised.…”
