APEX Managing Modern Athletic Hip Injuries-Online Didactic (September 2021)-The Validated Single Squat Test for MD and Rehab Team

The Validated Single Squat Test for MD and Rehab Team

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Ryan McGovern, a clinical researcher from Texas Health, discusses the importance of the validated single squat test for pre-arthritic hip pain. He highlights the need to differentiate between structural deformities and painful pathologies in patients. McGovern explains that there were no standardized functional performance tests available for this assessment, so he and his team developed a test based on the knee and ankle literature, specifically focusing on hip flexion, trunk movement, and hip abduction. He demonstrates the test with a model and explains the scoring system. McGovern concludes by discussing the reliability of the test and its correlation with pain and physical function in daily life and sports activities.
