Estimation of Atraumatic Hip MicroinstabilityAmong Long-distance Truck Drivers in Western Maharashtra: A Cross-Sectional Study

Hip joint dysfunction, Hip micro-instability, Hip osteoarthritis, Joint laxity

Hip micro-instability is a growing concern in adults, contributing to hip joint dysfunction and early osteoarthritis. Around 20-25% of people aged 50 and older suffer from hip and knee pain due to chronic wear and tear of joint cartilage. Hip instability is often characterized by painful extra-physiologic hip movements. Long-distance truck drivers often travel long routes with their hips in an ergonomically compromised position, causing pain due to vibrational forces and postural stress.
