TI  - Long-handled shoehorn length, body mass index, and hip range of motion in healthy 
      female adults.

AB  - We examined the effect that long-handled shoehorn (LHSH) length and body mass 
      index (BMI) have on hip range of motion (ROM) in female adults. Thirty-eight 
      female participants were asked to don a shoe using 18-, 24-, and 30-in. LHSHs. 
      Significant differences in hip flexion were found between the 18- and the 24-in. 
      shoehorns and between the 18- and the 30-in. shoehorns. A significant positive 
      relationship was found between BMI and internal rotation for each of the LHSHs. 
      The results suggest that healthy women with low BMLs using a 24- or 30-in. LHSH 
      have the greatest chance of not violating hip flexion or hip internal rotation 
      ROM precautions. Implications suggest that therapists consider individual BMI and 
      available hip ROM before prescribing an LHSH. A follow-up study is needed 
      involving populations who would likely benefit from using LHSHs.
