Hip-Joint Posture and Movement Alterations Are Associated With High Interference of Pain in the Life of Patients With Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome

Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common condition that can cause lateral hip pain. The single-leg-squat test (SLST) may be used by physicians in primary care environments to evaluate patients ’ dynamic stability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic stability and strength of lateral abduction hip movements in primary care patients with GTPS in relation to their perceived pain interference in life.
