Abstract

 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is conservative. However, there are few studies that prove these results. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of increasing hip and trunk muscle strength on pain, functional capacity, core muscle endurance, and postural control of women with GTPS.

METHODS: This study is a clinical trial. Twenty-six women with GTPS were assigned into Group 1 (G1, n=12, hip strength exercises) and Group 2 (G2, n=14, hip and core strength exercises) and were evaluated before the start, after the intervention protocol, and after the follow-up of 12 weeks (Follow-Up - FU). Pain, functional capacity, core endurance and postural control were evaluated. The Prone Bridge test (PBT) and Supine Bridge test (SBT) established core endurance.

RESULTS: The pain decreased after the interventions and FU (p=0.001), with a strong effect (1.62≤d≤2.35), with no differences between groups (p=0.29). Functional capacity improved after the interventions and FU (p=0.03), with a poor effect (0.19≤d≤0.27), with no differences between groups (p=0.61). The time in the PBT increased for both groups (p=0.62), with a strong effect in G2 (d=1.02). The SBT established that G2 was better after the intervention and FU (p=0.04; d=0.20), with no differences between the moments (p=0.95). Postural control showed no differences.

CONCLUSION: Strength exercises for the hips only or for the hips and core decreased pain and improved functional capacity and core endurance in GTPS.

Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O tratamento para a síndrome da dor no grande trocanter (SDGT) é conservador. No entanto, existem poucos estudos que comprovam esses resultados. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito do aumento da força muscular do quadril e do tronco na dor, capacidade funcional, resistência muscular do core e controle postural de mulheres com SDGT.

MÉTODOS: Este estudo é um ensaio clínico. Vinte e seis mulheres com SDGT foram divididas em Grupo 1 (G1, n=12, exercícios de fortalecimento do quadril) e Grupo 2 (G2, n=14, exercícios de fortalecimento do quadril e core) e foram avaliadas antes do início, após o protocolo de intervenção e após 12 semanas (Follow-Up). Dor, capacidade funcional, resistência do core e controle postural foram avaliados. O Prone Bridge Test (PBT) e o Supine Bridge Test (SBT) estabeleceram a resistência do core.

RESULTADOS: A dor diminuiu após as intervenções e follow-up (p=0,001), com forte efeito (1,62≤d≤2,35), sem diferenças entre os grupos (p=0,29). A capacidade funcional melhorou após as intervenções efollow-up (p=0,03), com efeito ruim (0,19≤d≤0,27), sem diferenças entre os grupos (p=0,61). O tempo no PBT aumentou para ambos os grupos (p=0,62), com efeito forte no G2 (d=1,02). O SBT estabeleceu que o G2 foi melhor após a intervenção efollow-up (p=0,04; d=0,20), sem diferenças entre os momentos (p=0,95). O controle postural não apresentou diferenças.

CONCLUSÃO: Exercícios de fortalecimento somente dos músculos do quadril ou para o quadril e core diminuíram a dor e melhoraram a capacidade funcional e a resistência do core no SDGT.
