Q: Describe the transfer of forces in the hip.
From sacrum to pelvis to femur
Diagram: Articular Structures of the Hip (2)
Labrum, and synovial fluid act like shock absorber

Diagram: Ligament Structures of the Hip
Iliofemoral ligament = one of strongest in the body (with the help of the labrum)

Diagram: Posterior Musculature of the Hip (6)
Large muscles used for movement (walking)
Deep muscles:

Diagram: Anterior Musculature of the Hip (2)
All the adductors (which also do IR)
Constantly contracted, can effect posture - anterior tilt

Q: Which set of muscule balance the hip?
ER and IR
Content: External Rotators (6)
Q: Which ER might become tight and then weak and cause posterior tilt? (5)
Content: Internal Rotators (8)
Diagram: Bursae of the Hip (2)
Ischial and Iliopsoas
Ischial = can be inflammed with prolonged sitting/trauma

Q: How much flexion can be appreciated at the hip?
110-120 degrees
Q: How much extension can be appreciated at the hip?
10-15 degrees
Q: How much abduction can be appreciated at the hip?
30-50 degrees
Q: How much adduction can be appreciated at the hip?
30
Q: How much external rotation can be appreciated at the hip?
40-60 degrees
Q: How much internal rotation can be appreciated at the hip?
30-40 degrees
Q: Describe the roll and glide with hip flexion.
R = anterior
G = posterior
Q: Describe the roll and glide with hip extension.
R = posterior
G = anterior
Q: Describe the roll and glide with hip abduction
R = lateral (superior)
G = inferior
Q: Describe the roll and glide with hip adduction
R = medial (inferior)
G = superior
Q: Describe the roll and glide with hip IR.
R = medial (anterior)
G = posterior
Q: Describe the roll and glide with hip ER.
R = lateral (posterior)
G = anterior
Q: Which hip motions have an end feel of tissue approximation (or stretch)? (2)
Q: Which hip motions have an end feel of tissue stretch? (4)
