Analysis of Biomechanical Parameters and Return to Sport After Hip Arthroscopy (ATH)

The aim of this prospective study is to describe dynamic movement parameters in active patients who underwent surgery between 3 and 6 months after hip arthroscopy, focusing on movements such as jumping, squatting and acceleration. By examining the relationships between these different parameters and the return to sporting activities, and by integrating different angle and alignment measurements per- and post-operatively, we hope to find predictive factors for successive rehabilitation in athletes, which could lead to more personalized rehabilitation protocols.
