    Area of Science:

    • Dance Medicine
    • Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
    • Sports Science

    Background:

    • Functional performance tests for dancers with hip pain require further description and validation.
    • Assessing hip joint impairments in dancers necessitates reliable and valid measurement tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability and validity of hop and balance tests in female dancers experiencing hip pain.
    • To determine if functional performance tests can differentiate between involved and uninvolved limbs in dancers with unilateral hip pain.

    Main Methods:

    • A quasi-experimental, repeated measures design was employed.
    • Nineteen female dancers with unilateral hip pain underwent cross-over reach, medial triple hop, lateral triple hop, and cross-over hop tests.
    • Test-retest reliability was assessed over two sessions, 2 days apart.

    Main Results:

    • All functional performance tests exhibited high test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.89-0.96).
    • The medial triple hop test showed significantly poorer performance on the involved side compared to the uninvolved side (p<0.01).
    • No significant side-to-side differences were found for the cross-over reach, lateral triple hop, or cross-over hop tests.

    Conclusions:

    • Hop and balance tests are reliably performed by dancers with hip pain.
    • The medial triple hop test is a valid measure for assessing hip impairments in dancers.
    • The medial triple hop test is recommended for evaluating functional deficits in dancers with hip pain.
