  • Gluteal strengthening exercises

    Device

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pain intensity

It will be measured with a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 millimeters in length. The subject has to indicate the level of pain he feels, being 0 the absence of pain and 100 the maximum imaginable.

Time frame
Baseline; inmediately after intervention.

Secondary outcomes

1

Functionality

The version adapted to Spanish from the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be used. It comprises 10 items, each scored from 0 to 5 (from no limitation to maximum limitation). The total score (0-100%) is calculated by dividing the sum of the item scores by the maximum possible score and multiplying by 100.

Time frame
Baseline; inmediately after intervention.
