Sacroiliac joint manipulation might improve patellofemoral pain and functional level in athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome. These effects could be due to the changes observed in EMG activity of gluteus medius and vasti muscles. Therefore, the sacroiliac joint manipulation might be considered in the rehabilitation protocol of the athletes with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Nonoperative Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement: A Prospective Study.
Conclusion:
A majority (82%) of adolescent patients presenting with FAI syndrome can be managed nonoperatively, with significant improvements in outcome scores at a mean follow-up of 2 years.
Clinical Relevance:
A nonoperative approach should be the first-line treatment for young active patients with symptomatic FAI syndrome.

Examination procedures and interventions for the hip in the management of low back pain: a survey of physical therapists.
Physical therapists commonly examine and provide interventions directed at the hip(s) for individuals with lower back pain. Post-professional fellowship training appears to influence the intervention selection of the physical therapist, with an increase in usage of hip joint manual therapy and a decrease in hip muscle flexibility and modality usage.
