A 68-yeаr-оld femаle cоmes tо physicаl therapy with complaints of increasing stiffness and discomfort in her right hip over the past several months. She denies recent injury or trauma. She reports difficulty walking, especially when trying to turn, and has trouble crossing her right leg over the left while getting dressed. She also notes some pain when standing after sitting for a long time. On examination: Right hip passive range of motion reveals greatest loss in medial (internal) rotation, followed by flexion, and abduction. Extension and lateral (external) rotation are mildly limited, and adduction is relatively preserved. Strength is 4/5 in right hip flexors and abductors. No swelling or redness is observed. Special tests for labral tear and impingement are negative. Based on the examination findings, what is the most likely cause of this patient’s motion loss?
