Study on Hip Bump Manipulation in Healthy Adults
This study is looking at how a technique called Hip Bump Manipulation (HBM) affects healthy adults. HBM is a procedure where a quick, gentle push is applied to the hip, which some believe can improve hip movement. Researchers want to see if HBM can improve how far you can rotate your hip inward, make your hip muscles stronger, and improve how you land when jumping. You can join if you are a healthy adult between 18 and 45 years old. This study will compare HBM to a sham (inactive) treatment to see if HBM has real benefits. The study aims to see if this commonly used technique actually works, as it hasn't been proven by research yet. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This study plans to enroll 60 healthy adults. Participants will receive either Hip Bump Manipulation or a sham (inactive) treatment.
- What's involved
- You would participate in a single session lasting approximately 20 minutes. During this session, your hip strength, range of motion, and muscle activation will be measured before and after the intervention.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Measurements are taken from before to after the intervention within a single 20-minute session. There is no mention of follow-up beyond this session.

What this trial measures
- Hip External Rotation Strength"From pre-intervention to post-intervention within a single session lasting approximately 20 minutes."
Measured with ActivForce Handheld Dynamometry. 3 trials for an average Mean Voluntary Isometric Contraction
- Hip Internal Rotation Range of Motion"From pre-intervention to post-intervention within a single session lasting approximately 20 minutes."
Hip Internal rotation measured in a seat position 90/90 position. Measured with IPhone Digital Goniometry. 3 trials with a calculated average
- Hip EMG Muscle Activation"From pre-intervention to post-intervention within a single session lasting approximately 20 minutes."
Delsys Trigno Wireless System will be used to monitor changes in muscle activation between the Tensor Fascia Latae, Gluteus Medius, and Gluteus Maximus. During seated isometric external rotation contraction and bipodal landing. EMG will be retrieved on the 2nd attempt out of 3 trials.
- Bipodal Landing"From pre-intervention to post-intervention within a single session lasting approximately 20 minutes."
Kinvent K-Delta Force Plates used to measure changes in bipodal landing mechanics including force distribution, time to stabilization, etc. 3 trials will be conducted to present average values
