Players with current groin pain exhibit mechanical hyperalgesia of the adductor tendon https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26108 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:54 AEDT ]]> Australian football players experiencing groin pain exhibit reduced subscale scores of activities of daily living and sport and recreation on the HAGOS questionnaire: a case-control study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30696 post-hoc factor analysis was undertaken. Results: Participants with current groin pain showed lower Physical Function of Daily Living (PFDL) and Physical Function in Sport and Recreation (PFSR) subscale scores (p < 0.05, ES: 0.77 and 0.90 respectively). Any groin pain (current and/or historical) lowered the Pain and Quality of Life (QOL) subscale scores (p < 0.05, ES: 0.38 and 0.72 respectively). Factor analysis showed 8 significant factors with one main factor identified representing items describing forceful activities (Eigenvalue = 18.02, Proportion = 0.49). Conclusions: The HAGOS can distinguish AF players with current groin pain in the PFDL and PFSR subscales but not in the other four subscales. Any current or historical groin pain lowers scores on the QOL and Pain sub scales. Level of evidence: Aetiology, Individual Case-Control Study, Level 3b]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:08 AEDT ]]>
