Active posterior pelvic tilt range of motion is decreased in soccer players with chronic groin pain: A case-control study

Abstract

The purpose of this case control study was to examine the effect of groin pain status on active posterior pelvic tilt range of motion in soccer players. 66 semi-professional male soccer players were recruited and sub grouped by: chronic groin pain (GP, n = 16), history chronic groin pain (HxGP, n = 16), no history of chronic groin pain (NoGP, n = 32). Blinded outcomes measures were: active posterior pelvic tilt range of motion (PPT ROM) undertaken in dominant and non-dominant weight bearing, and hip flexor length. A one-way ANOVA (P
