Impact of Hip Activation Compared to Hip Plus Balance Training on the Forward-Step-Down Test

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Control of Frontal Plane Biomechanics, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

In brief

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of a hip activation home exercise program (HEP) compared to a hip activation + single leg balance HEP on performance of the Forward-Step-Down Test (FSDT) in healthy females. Participants will be assigned to the control (hip activation HEP only) or experimental (hip activation + single leg balance HEP). Following the pre-test data collection, participants will complete their HEP for 8 weeks. They will return to the lab for post-test measurements.
