Abbreviations: SD, standard deviation; FVMRI, femoral version as measured by magnetic resonance imaging; deg, degrees; ROM, range of motion; ER90°, external rotation ROM with hip flexed to 90°; IR90° internal rotation ROM with hip flexed to 90°; ER0°, external rotation ROM with hip in neutral flexion/extension; IR0°, internal rotation ROM with hip in neutral flexion/extension; ROMdif90°, difference in ROM with hip flexed to 90°; ROMdif0°, difference in ROM with hip in neutral flexion/extension

*

Data from one participant with chronic hip joint pain was omitted secondary to pain limiting end range of motion.

ROM difference was calculated by subtracting ER ROM from IR ROM
