RESUMO

The purpose of the present study was to clinically evaluate possible effects of the proposed physiotherapeutic exercises compared to observational follow-up in LCPD patients. A prospective follow-up study with control group was conducted with 20 unilateral LCPD patients divided into two groups: group A (observational follow-up) and group B (physiotherapeutic follow-up). The following parameters were assessed: articular range of motion (ROM), level of muscular strength, level of articular dysfunction, and radiographic status, both before and after the treatment. Group B showed significant ROM improvement of the hip, while in group A worsening occurred. Muscular strength also improved in group B, while group A showed no changes. The level of articular dysfunction showed significant improvement in Group B and worsening in group. The physiotherapeutic treatment (group B) was efficient for patients with LCPD.
