| Summary | This study focuses on patients diagnosed with Grade II hip osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint condition characterized by pain, reduced range of motion, muscle weakness, and functional limitations. Hip osteoarthritis is commonly assessed using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) classification system, with Grade II representing definite osteophyte formation with possible joint space narrowing, where conservative management is strongly recommended. Exercise therapy, particularly strengthening of the hip abductor muscles, plays a key role in improving pelvic stability, reducing pain, and enhancing functional outcomes. Clamshell exercises are widely used to activate the gluteus medius and minimus muscles, while modified clamshell exercises are designed to optimize muscle recruitment and reduce compen |
