My patient X, a 65-year-old man who was an ex-army officer and a runner, came to us complaining of pain in both hips. Based on his diagnosis, we were able to determine that he had bilateral hip OA. He was also having trouble running, so we performed a running analysis and created a rehabilitation plan for him. We worked on strengthening his adductors for knee stability (lunges with adductor squeezes), strengthened his pelvic stability( strengthening of hip abductors and Ql ) and corrected his ankle pronation by strengthening his tibalis posterior. After three months of rehab he could easily run without the pain that had been present for the previous ten years.
