Researchers examined 21 professional and 18 collegiate hockey players who underwent MRI evaluation of the pelvis and hips. No participants reported symptoms related to pelvic or hip disorders.
MRI findings showed adductor-abdominal rectus dysfunction in 36 percent of the participants and hip pathological changes were reported in 64 percent.
