About this trial
To evaluate if the Founder exercise will significantly change participants kinematics when performing hip hinge movement. Secondary purpose is to evaluate if completing the Founder Exercise intervention will improve confidence in performing a hip hinge.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age between 18 and 50 years.
Ability to perform physical exercises, including bending at the waist.
Ability to understand verbal and tactile cues.
Disqualifiers
History of low back pain, pelvic pain, or hip pain.
Participants that have pain with the intervention.
Current or past musculoskeletal injuries affecting hip, knee, ankle, or foot function.
Any condition limiting the ability to perform or participate in physical activities.

Treatments tested in this trial
Hip Hinge Instruction
Other interventionThe participant will be instructed to perform a hip hinge movement based on their current understanding and ability. This initial movement assessment will serve as a baseline measure to analyze the participant's natural hip hinge mechanics before any intervention. The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether the implementation of the Founder Exercise intervention leads to significant changes in the kinematics of the hip hinge movement.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
2D motion capture
The angles will be measured using 2D video analysis through the OnForm app on an iPad. This will be recorded directly into the app and stored by OnForm (OnForm's privacy policy is attached). This app enables video recording and allows for detailed frame-by-frame analysis, including precise marking of anatomical structures and the calculation of distances and angles during the participant's hip hinge movement. The iPad will be positioned to the left of the participant so that all reflective markers are in view of the camera when the arms are raised overhead.
Time frame

Grip Strength
the participant's grip strength will be measured using a hand grip dynamometer, a reliable and valid tool for measuring isometric grip force. The participant will stand with the test arm bent at the elbow to 90 degrees with the forearm and wrist in neutral. The dynamometer will be placed in the test hand and the participant will be instructed to perform a maximal squeeze. This will be repeated 3 times, and the highest measure will be documented. This will then be repeated for the opposite hand.
