Table 3 Description of the intervention used
Author | Frequency (F) and duration (D) | Intensity of exercise | Type of exercise |
|---|---|---|---|
Bennell et al | F: 5/week D: 12 weeks Supervised and home-based | With ankle cuff weights or elastic bands, 3 sets of 10 repetitions | The SG completed six exercises in side-lying and standing to strengthen the hip abductor and adductor muscles Subjects in the CG did not receive any additional treatment or do any home activities during the 12-week period |
Jorge et al | F: 2/week D: 12 weeks Supervised | The 1RM was used as the starting load The regime consisted of two sets of eight repetitions, with the first set utilising 50% of 1RM and the second set utilising 70% of 1RM. Between sets, there was a one-minute rest period | SG—progressive resistance exercise programme (PRE) that included four separate hip abduction/adduction movements performed with free weights on two gym machines (knee flexion–extension and abduction and adduction) (supplementary material). A five-minute warm-up on an exercise bicycle followed the activities |
Singh et al | F: 5/week D: 6 weeks supervised | Subjects began by performing 50 percent of their one-repetition maximum. After then, a new 1 RM was measured every week, and the load was gradually raised The duration of the contraction was 5–10 s, depending on the tolerance of the subjects. Between repetitions, there was a ten-second break and a one-minute break between sets | SG — Side-lying with weight cuffs and traditional exercises were used to improve the hip abductor muscles CG – received the traditional knee exercises. Static quadriceps, straight leg lift and short arc terminal extension |
Yuenyongviwat et al | F: 2/week D: 10 weeks Supervised | 4 sets- of 10 repetitions twice a day | SG—Hip abductor and quadriceps strengthening activities were performed. Subjects were instructed to lie down in a side-lying position and abduct the hip to a 45-degree abduction posture, which they held for 10 s. The patient's ankle was wrapped with a sandbag which was weighted per protocol while completing quadriceps workouts or hip abduction exercises Only quadriceps strengthening exercises were done by CG |
Wang et al | F: 1/day D: 6 weeks Supervised | 3 sets of 10 repetitions progression to a greater resistance level was possible when subjects could perform 20 repetitions | SG – hip abductor strength–based exercises CG – Quadriceps femoris strength–based exercises |
Elizabeth A. Sled et al | F:1/day D: 3 to 4 times per week for 8 weeks Unsupervised – Home based | Progression to greater resistance levels occurred when participants could perform the exercise without fatigue for 20 repetitions | SG-Side-lying resistive exercises for the hip abductor muscles, progressing to using resistance bands, standing single-leg stabilization exercises, progressing to standing hip abduction using resistance bands CG-daily activities and refrain from beginning any new exercise program |
Chaudhary Ashok | F:1/day D:6 days for weeks Supervised | 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 10 RM performed in side lying with resistance 3 sets of 10 repetitions at moderate resistance performed in standing with band 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Performed in unipedal stance with 5 s hold | SG- hip abductor strength–based exercises CG- Short wave diathermy, stretching exercises, range of motion exercises, strengthening exercises |
