Study Notes
- Reduced hip motion may indicate disease or trauma.
- Limited hip motion can impact daily activities.
- Two terms describe hip kinematics: femoral-on-pelvic and pelvic-on-femoral.
- Range of motion is reported using the anatomic position as the reference point.
- Each plane of motion is associated with a unique axis of rotation.
- Internal and external rotation occur around a longitudinal axis of rotation.
- The amount of hip flexion varies with knee position and hamstring muscle flexibility.
- Hip abduction is limited by the pubofemoral ligament and adductor muscles.
- Hip adduction may be limited by passive tension in hip abductor muscles and the iliotibial band.
- Internal and external rotation are particularly variable among subjects.
