Description
Summary:Functional tests are used to establish the functional capacity of women with Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS). However, the validity, reliability, or possibility of discriminating this dysfunction have not been established. To compare functional capacity, establish the properties of functional test measurements, and present the best test to discriminate between women with and without GTPS. A total of 46 women were evaluated (23 with GTPS/23 asymptomatic). On the first day, two evaluators analyzed the muscle strength of the quadriceps and lateral hip complex and performance in the 30-s sit to stand test (STS30), stair ascent test (SAT), stair descent test (SDT), and Timed Up and Go test (TUG). On the second day, evaluator 1 repeated the assessment. The results were established by the intraclass correlation coefficient, Spearman's correlation test, and discriminant analysis. The GTPS group showed worse results in the VISA-G (P
