Abstract

In recent years, a better understanding of the intra- and extra-articular sources of hip pain have led to the improved diagnosis of these hip disorders. These advancements have created a need for the development of rehabilitation guidelines to appropriately manage these conditions conservatively (i.e., nonoperative management). Since many intra-and extra-articular hip conditions are movement or activity dependent, a comprehensive rehabilitation program is imperative to prevent reoccurrence of symptoms. The purpose of this chapter is to present guiding principles for rehabilitation of hip disorders being managed nonoperatively. The rehabilitation guidelines discussed take into account structural, biomechanical, and physiological factors that affect injury and healing. We will present these guiding principles for both extra-and intra-articular hip disorders.
