Lycra garments for hip dysplasia study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a special Lycra garment can help people with hip dysplasia and joint hypermobility. It aims to see if this approach is practical and beneficial for managing symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (a condition where the hip joint doesn't develop properly).
- You must have joint hypermobility (unusually flexible joints).

This trial compares a structured exercise and patient education program with standard care in people with hip dysplasia. It may help improve hip and groin pain and function, especially if you are not getting the usual surgery (periacetabular osteotomy, or PAO).
This study looks at babies under 3 months old with certain ultrasound findings of an underdeveloped hip (“hip dysplasia”). It compares outcomes between simply watching the hip and using a brace (when recommended).
This trial is testing how to assess and manage joint instability in people who have unusually loose (hypermobile) joints. If you have moderate to severe loose joints, you may be able to join after screening checks like movement tests and health history.
This trial is a worldwide registry that collects information from children with hip dysplasia or who are at higher risk. It helps researchers understand who is affected and how hip evaluations are done, which can improve future care.
This study looks at whether sitting with legs crossed (cross-legged sitting) can help improve hip joint development in children with hip dysplasia in one hip. It aims to see if this simple position change can be an effective part of treatment for young children.
This trial tests a new software program that helps doctors read ultrasound images of babies' hips to check for hip dysplasia, a condition where the hip joint doesn't form properly. It may help make screening more accurate and easier.
