   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this injury affects a muscle and tendon that steady my hip and pelvis when I stand or walk.
   • I know it may happen from a fall, sudden force, overuse, or gradual tendon wear.
   • I understand a larger tear can cause weakness, limping, and trouble standing on one leg.
   • protect my hip from painful loading and follow my care plan to prevent worsening injury.
