Snapping Hip Syndrome, also known as Coxa Saltans, is a condition that is characterized by a snapping sensation, and/or audible “snap” or “click” noise, in or around the hip when it is in motion. There are various causes for snapping hip syndrome, which can be further classified as external, internal, or intra-articular in origin. For most people this condition is simply an annoyance; however it may result in both pain and weakness interfering with the patient’s functional mobility. | |||

Physical Therapy Management
[edit | edit source]
Compared to the body of literature for surgical management, there is a lack of evidence for specific interventions in the conservative management of snapping hip syndrome and/or tendonitis of the involved structures. Given that this condition is classified as a syndrome, the physical therapist can expect to find multiple abnormalites, each of which should be individually addressed. Examination findings of each individual patient should guide the impairment-based approach to treatment.
Since the mechanism of injury and focus of surgical intervention has been identified as excessive shortening and tightness of the iliopsoas tendon and iliotibial band, patients may benefit from stretching of anterior hip structures or the iliotibial band and its associated structures. [1] [2] [3]
Andres et al conducted a systematic review of interventions for tendonitis, and determined that eccentric strengthening exercises showed the greatest value in decreasing pain and increasing function, when compared to other physical therapy interventions.[4]
A case study has been published which documents the complete resolution of pain in a case of lateral coxa saltans. Myofascial release of the tensor fascia latae, gluteus medius, and gluteus maximus, and adductor musculature was performed, and the patient was prescribed a general stabilization and strengthening program focusing on the abductor musculature.[5]
A systematic review by the Cochrane Library showed no increased benefit of transverse friction massage, when compared to other interventions, for iliotibial band friction syndrome.[6]
