LHPQ · Lateral Hip Pain Questionnaire

1 Before you use it

What it is

A lateral-hip-specific questionnaire covering pain, sleep disturbance and functional limitation in greater trochanteric pain syndrome.

VISA-G is the better-established option — this is an adjunct, particularly where sleep disruption is the dominant complaint.

When to reach for it

As an adjunct in gluteal tendinopathy, especially where night pain and side-lying tolerance are the main complaints.

Scoring

Item content and scoring vary by version. State which version you used and stay with it.

What it doesn’t measure

Abductor strength, or differential diagnosis.

3 Reading the score

Interpreting it

Is the change real?

No verified MCID or MDC is carried in our library for this measure, so the number on its own cannot tell you a change is real. Compare it to this patient's own baseline and say what changed functionally.

Student trap. Reaching for this over VISA-G. If you only use one for gluteal tendinopathy, use VISA-G.
