【 摘 要 】

The literature describing the characteristic features of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been on the rise, increasing awareness of this pathology in the young, active population. The physical therapist should consider FAI as a contributing factor to anterior hip pain, impairments, and functional deficits of the lower quarter. The dynamic interplay of anatomical variations, pain, and muscle function and their effects on gait in patients with FAI, however, is poorly understood. Small sample populations and variability in radiological, demographic, and clinical presentations in those with FAI have precluded meaningful insight into gait analysis and FAI, reiterating the need for further research in this domain.
