Abstract: | Introduction Recent guidelines pertaining to exercise for individuals with osteoarthritis have been released. These guidelines have been
based primarily on studies of knee-joint osteoarthritis. The current study was focused on the hip joint, which has different
biomechanical features and risk factors for osteoarthritis and has received much less attention in the literature. The purpose
was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the exercise programs used in intervention studies focused
solely on hip-joint osteoarthritis, to decide whether their exercise regimens met the new guidelines, and to determine the
level of support for exercise-therapy interventions in the management of hip-joint osteoarthritis. |
