About this study
Official title: Exercise Rehabilitation for Hip-related Pain and Dysfunction in Full Time Student Circus Arts Performers: a Pilot Trial
Hip injuries are reported to account for 71% and 29% of all injuries reported in female and male performers, respectively, at the National Institute of Circus Arts. There are no reports on hip pathology in circus performers, nor are there any reported exercise interventions for hip pain in circus performers.
This study aims to:
Read more
To assess the effect of an exercise rehabilitation program on patient-reported outcome measures, hip strength and range of movement, and functional assessments in circus arts students with clinically and radiologically diagnosed hip pain-related disorders.
Participants will undertake a 12-week strength exercise protocol that has been specifically designed to focus on hip rehabilitation appropriate for circus performance. Expected outcome: Improvements in patient reported outcome measure (PROM) scores and an increase in function, strength and hip range of movement in people with hip pain
- Conditions
- Hip Dysplasia, Femoro Acetabular Impingement
- Being tested

- Hip Dislocation, Femoracetabular Impingement
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hip Exercise ProgramOther
The exercise intervention is being implemented 3 times per week. Two sessions can be completed at home by the participant, and one session per week will be attended by a physiotherapist that will monitor exercise technique and progress the exercise program for each participant. The exercise protocol has been specifically designed to focus on hip rehabilitation appropriate for circus performance. The exercise program will involve hip strength exercises in the sagittal, coronal and transverse planes using weights and elastic bands (Theraband). It will also include trunk strength and postural correction exercises to address swayback posture which is a common clinical presentation in those with hip dysplasia.

Secondary outcomes (8)
Functional movement screen Y-balance test
This will measure a circus performers capacity to stand on one leg and reach their opposite leg as far as possible forwards, backwards and sideways. This provides a measure of both strength and flexibility, has been used in prior hip research, and shown to have excellent intra and inter-rater reliability.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Hip Exercise Program in people with Hip Dysplasia and Femoro Acetabular Impingement, run by Swinburne University of Technology at 1 site in Australia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2023.
