OBJECTIVES: (i) Investigate if lower-limb running biomechanics differ between women and men with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, and (ii) explore whether sex-specific relationships between lower-limb running biomechanics and symptom severity and sport-related concerns exist. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Gait laboratory. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty women and 22 men enrolled in a clinical trial of physiotherapist-led treatments for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Kinematics and kinetics of hip, knee, and ankle joints during the stance phase (calculated from three-dimensional biomechanics data) were compared using statistical parametric mapping. The International Hip Outcome Tool-33 and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcomes Score quantified hip-related symptom severity and sport-related concerns. RESULTS: ). CONCLUSIONS: Women and men with FAI syndrome display differences in lower-limb running biomechanics and relationships between symptom severity and running biomechanics are sex-dependent, warranting consideration in future analyses.
