Hip Manipulation for Improved Strength in Patients with Hip Pain

Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effects of an unrestrained femoral internal rotation (UFIR) manipulation technique on hip external rotation strength in individuals with nonspecific hip pain. The results of this study may help physical therapists and other healthcare professionals to better understand the effectiveness of this technique in improving hip strength and function in patients with nonspecific hip pain.
