| Popis: |
The hip joint plays an important biomechanical link for the human lower limb. It is also known as the Coxofemoral joint. The joint allows mobility in all axis and planes in addition to providing stability for static and dynamic actions. The hip joint works in closed kinematic chain with the pelvis joint for an efficient biomechanical function. The muscles around the hip and pelvis are larger group of muscles with long moment arm and thus can produce power actions. The concentric and eccentric contraction of hip and pelvis muscles allow to withstand high compressive, tensile, and distraction forces. In comparison to the shoulder the hip joint complex is less mobile but more stable for being able to transfer the body weight efficiently. Let us understand the weight bearing functions of the hip joint in detail. |
