Can a Hip Brace Improve Short-Term Hip-Related Quality of Life for People With Femoroacetabular Impingement and Acetabular Labral Tears: An Exploratory Randomized Trial

CONCLUSION: Between-group differences favored the braced group for hip health QoL, pain, symptoms, and function. Although these were promising results, the CIs for the estimates were wide, the small sample size likely a contributing factor. Our results suggest that further investigation of the brace is warranted, we calculated sample sizes and made recommendations for the design of a future trial.
