Summary
This study looks at how the shape and movement of the hip and spine relate to pain in a condition called femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Researchers will compare three groups of men aged 21-35: those with hip pain and a specific bony bump (CAM), those with the bump but no pain, and those without the bump. Participants will undergo low-dose X-rays and 3D motion analysis during activities like walking and squatting. The goal is to better understand the link between anatomy, movement, and symptoms.
