Influence of Clinician Sex and BMI on Long-Axis Hip Distraction Mobilization (LADM) with Imaging

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare the influence of clinician sex and BMI associated with the magnitude of hip joint space separation when applying long-axis hip distraction mobilization (LADM) as measured with ultrasound imaging. We aim to measure the hip joint distraction distance during an end-range LADM technique performed by physical therapist and physical therapy student clinicians.
