Utilizing EMG Shorts in Hip Population

N/AWithdrawnNCT04720274

Duke University

Overview

The purpose of this study is to use a combination of electromyopathy (EMG) shorts and muscle monitoring software to collect data from participants performing physical exercises in order to determine the combination's diagnostic efficacy and ability to provide rehabilitative guidance for people who are recovering from hip injuries. Both healthy volunteers and Duke Patients seeking treatment for their hip pain and/or injuries will be enrolled in our research. If participants choose to take part they will be asked to wear these EMG shorts and perform various exercises like running on a treadmill, riding a stationary bike, or lifting weights. Participation in this study consists of one study visit for healthy volunteers, but will last up to six months for Duke Patients. At each standard of care clinic visit throughout six months, Duke Patients will be asked to also come in for a study visit, wear the EMG shorts, and perform the same exercises preformed during the first study visit.
