Hip abduction weakness has never been documented on a population basis as a common finding in a healthy group of athletes and would not normally be found in an elite adolescent athlete. This study aimed to show that hip abduction weakness not only occurs in this group but also is common and easy to correct with an unsupervised home based program.
A prospective sports team cohort based study was performed with thirty elite adolescent under-17 Australian Rules Footballers in the Australian Institute of Sport/Australian Football League Under-17 training academy. The players had their hip abduction performance assessed and were then instructed in a hip abduction muscle training exercise. This was performed on a daily basis for two months and then they were reassessed.
The baseline values show widespread profound deficiencies in hip abduction performance not previously reported. Very large performance increases can be achieved, unsupervised, in a short period of time to potentially allow large clinically significant gains. This assessment should be an integral part of preparticipation screening and assessed in those with lower limb injuries. This particular exercise should be used clinically and more research is needed to determine its injury prevention and performance enhancement implications.
This study set out to highlight the very poor hip abduction in an elite group of under-age Australian Rules Footballers using a previously unreported test. It also aimed to demonstrate the significant improvements that can be attained over a short period of time with focused and yet unsupervised rehabilitation.
Each year, the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Australian Football League (AFL) invites the top 30 under-17 year old Australian Rules Football players to a year-long non-residential academy program. During this period, four residential training camps are held during which time all players are physically assessed. At the entry point to the study none had injuries or pain that prevented them from completing the full battery of AIS/AFL draft camp fitness and agility tests.
Initial position for the hip abduction exercise. The player lies on their side with their head on the underneath arm and the elbow of the top arm on the floor level with the chin in front of their face.
The bottom leg is kept in line with the trunk and the top leg is flexed at the hip with the toes placed behind the lower knee. The pelvis is rolled forward so that the slope of the pelvis matches the slope of the shoulders.
The following day when the athletes had been able to practice a small number of the exercises for familiarisation all athletes had their hip abduction performance assessed using a hand held dynamometer and the best of three repeat measurements recorded. The tests were done on each occasion when no other exercise had been performed on that day to avoid any other fatigue factors. Each player was prescribed 100 repetitions per side per day. The exercise was then performed by the athlete in their homes across Australia unsupervised for the two months duration between the team camps. At the second camp repeated measurements were again performed using an identical protocol. The choice of this position for testing and training and the number of repetitions for the exercise was based on the clinical practice of the team sports physician.
All players and their parents/guardians signed pre-academy agreements that included permission for collection of data for the purpose of manuscript preparation in accordance with AIS policy at the time. In addition, the AIS/AFL scholarship contracts specifically allow for research to be undertaken and data collected during the scholarship to be published as per clauses 5.2 and 5.3. Furthermore, this project was formally assessed and approved by the Ethics Committee of the AIS prior to manuscript submission (reference no. 20090605).
All thirty athletes from and AIS/AFL Academy intake were enrolled in the study. The team sports physician performed all testing and exercise prescription. The testing was performed at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, Australia. The exercises were performed by the athletes in their own centres in the two months between camps. The phase of the season during which the study was conducted was immediately post finals series an as such was a period of relative rest with cross training and some individual rehabilitation programs.
All 30 athletes were instructed in the exercise and had baseline tests recorded. At the second testing, 2 months later, 2 players were unavailable. One player was medically unwell and did not attend the camp. The second player had suffered a lower limb fracture. Their initial data was discarded and results were calculated from the remaining 28 players.
In respect of the players who showed deterioration in scores between the 2 time intervals, 2 had drops of only 4% and 2%. These players improved their opposite sides by 18% and 3% respectively. The final player recorded a drop of 23% between readings while improving his contralateral side by 26%. On further questioning, all 3 players involved admitted to sub-optimal adherence to the exercise regimen.
The baseline measurements showed that 12 of the 28 athletes had hip abduction strength of MRC grade 4. In total, at baseline, 14 out of 28 athletes had MRC grade 4 strength or greater than a 25% side-to-side difference in performance. These profound lopsided performance and/or pure hip abduction deficiencies have never been previously reported in asymptomatic athletes.
After two months of the exercise all had improved to grade 5. In fact some athletes doubled or even tripled their baseline scores. These observed changes were large compared to the threshold of detection set with the small pilot study. These improvements should reduce the chance that athletes still had Trendelenburg gait [2] and increased valgus knee moments with landing manoeuvres [23] but this was not tested in this study.
An unsupervised exercise program in an adolescent population can have significant compliance problems. This exercise without knowing exact compliance details resulted in no athletes continuing to have fundamental hip abduction deficiencies.
Fredericson in his review of iliotibial band syndrome in athletes [6] makes reference to the long held belief that athletes with a greater than 10% disparity between muscle groups are more prone to injury. In our cohort, 11 players originally had greater than 25%. In fact the side-to-side differences in this subgroup were huge with a mean difference between the sides of 48%. While it was noted at retesting that 6 players still recorded difference of greater than 25% between sides, the mean difference had dropped to 34%. With close supervision it would be reasonable to anticipate achieving no athletes with a greater than 10% side to side difference although measuring this accurately in the clinical setting may prove difficult.
