The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of FAI abnormalities on hip joint biomechanics.
The purpose of this study is to quantify hip biomechanics of subjects with and without FAI. The results of this study will advance our understanding of how the FAI alters the biomechanics of the hip joint, improving diagnosis and directing treatment strategies.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who present with hip pain subsequently diagnosed as femoroacetabular impingement * Subjects who meet the following radiographic criterion of cam or pincer FAI, will be given the opportunity to volunteer in this study. * Subjects that demonstrate a cross-over-sign or a lateral center edge angle (LCEA) without an alpha angle, will be classified as having pincer FAI. * Subjects with an alpha angle, without a cross-over sign or LCEA, will be categorized as having cam type FAI. * Finally, with at least one cam (alpha angle) and pincer sign "cross-over-sign or a later…
