Active And Passive Joint Position Sense On Healthy Hips, Julianna J. Johnson
WWU Graduate School Collection
Hip proprioception has been tested on various populations, but there is limited research on healthy young adults. Primary assessments of proprioception for hip have been on joint position sense (JPS), but fewer studies have accomplished this in an unconstraint testing apparatus with angular repositioning tasks. Purpose of this study was to examine effects of active and passive repositioning on hip JPS in healthy young adults. It was hypothesized that active JPS error scores would be lower compared to passive JPS error scores. There was a total of 15 subjects in the study. Digitization of anatomical landmarks were used to create …
