Walk test for hip impingement patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how hip impingement affects walking. It may help doctors understand the link between symptoms and walking patterns before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have femoroacetabular impingement (a hip condition where bones rub together)
- You are scheduled for hip arthroscopy (keyhole surgery on your hip)
- You do not have severe hip osteoarthritis (advanced hip joint wear)
- You do not have hip dysplasia (a hip socket that is too shallow)
- You have not had any previous surgery on the same or opposite hip
- You do not have any other bone or nerve problem that affects how you walk

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how a CAM-type hip impingement (a bump on the ball of the hip joint) affects hip movement and stress. It compares men with and without symptoms to understand what causes pain and how to prevent future hip problems.
This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
This trial tests whether injecting a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow during hip arthroscopy improves recovery for people with femoroacetabular impingement (a hip condition where bones rub). It compares outcomes to standard care alone.
This study uses a special 3D MRI to look at the hip joint in people who have torn their ACL. The goal is to see if a hip shape problem called femoroacetabular impingement (pinching in the hip) is linked to ACL tears.
This study measures how your hip moves (the “mechanics”) using clinical exams and imaging. It may help researchers understand hip movement problems in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) before major joint damage develops.
This study compares hip positioning (acetabular angle) with pelvic tilt in people with femoro-acetabular impingement and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers better understand hip mechanics and how they relate to symptoms and planning for arthroscopy surgery.
