Hip Biomechanics During a Single-Leg Squat: 5 Key Differences Between People With Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome and Those Without Hip Pain

Philip Malloy et al.
Background The hip joint biomechanics of people with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome are different from those of healthy people during a double-leg squat. However, information on biomechanics during a single-leg squat is limited. Objectives To compare hip joint biomechanics between people with FAI syndrome and people without hip pain during double-leg and single-leg squats. Methods Fourteen people with FAI syndrome (cam, n = 7; pincer, n = 1; mixed, n = 6) and 14 people without hip p
