Objective Investigating differences in hip muscle strength between athletes with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) and asymptomatic controls. Design Cross-sectional case-control study. Setting Sports medical center. Participants Twelve recreational male athletes with mid-portion AT and twelve matched asymptomatic controls. Outcome measures Isometric strength of the hip abductors, external rotators, and extensors was measured using a handheld dynamometer. Functional hip muscle performance was evaluated with the single-leg squat. The Victorian Institute of Sport AssessmentAchilles (VISA-A) questionnaire was completed to determine clinical severity of symptoms. Results Compared to controls, participants with AT demonstrated 28.9% less isometric hip abduction strength (p = 0.012), 34.2% less hip external rotation strength (p = 0.010), and 28.3% less hip extension strength (p = 0.034) in the injured limb. Similar differences were found for the non-injured limb (26.741.8%; p Conclusion Recreational male athletes with chronic mid-portion AT demonstrated bilateral weakness of hip abductors, external rotators, and extensors compared to their asymptomatic counterparts. These findings suggest that hip muscle strength may be important in the assessment and rehabilitation of those with AT. |
