Volunteers Needed

Hip Structure and Function in Young Females

We are looking for young females to participate in our study! Specifically, we are looking for:

• Female athletes who play an organized sport ages 8-17 years old
• Healthy, recreationally active females ages 8-17 years old

Our goal is to capture how young females move so that we can study the movements that affect hip bone shape.

Those who choose to participate may be ask to 1) participate in a test of their movement and have an MRI of their hips done at Boston University, 2) wear a small device that records motion at home for 1 week, and 3) complete questionnaires. Participants will need to meet certain eligibility criteria in order to participate. Eligible participants will be compensated for their time.

If you or your child is interested in participating in our study, or would like to learn more, please contact our study staff at HipStudy@bu.edu or (617) 358-1092.
