AAOMPT / Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapy
In this episode, physical therapist and researcher Dr. Libby Bergman explains why hip dysplasia in young adults is frequently overlooked—and what clinicians can do to catch it earlier. Her research explores whether simple clinical tests physical therapists already use—range of motion, strength testing, and hypermobility measures—might help identify hidden hip instability. The findings could help clinicians recognize hip dysplasia sooner and potentially prevent years of unexplained pain and delayed treatment.
