2023年10月30日 · The hip joint is a multiaxial joint and permits a wide range of motion; flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, external rotation, internal rotation and circumduction. Compared to the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint, however, this joint sacrifices mobility for stability as it is designed for weight bearing.

Your hip joint is a connection point between your legs and your torso. Specifically, it’s made up of your thigh bone (femur) and your hip bone (pelvis). It’s a ball-and-socket joint that supports your body weight and allows you to move your upper leg.

The hip joint connects the lower extremities with the axial skeleton. The hip joint allows for movement in three major axes, all of which are perpendicular to one another. The location of the center of the entire axis is at the femoral head. The transverse axis …

The hip joint, scientifically referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint (art. coxae), is the ball-and-socket joint between the pelvic acetabulum and the femoral head. Its primary function is to support the weight of the torso in both static (e.g. standing) …

2022年1月21日 · The hip joint is a ball and socket synovial joint, formed by an articulation between the pelvic acetabulum and the head of the femur. It forms a connection from the lower limb to the pelvic girdle, and thus is designed for stability and weight-bearing – rather than a large range of movement.

2021年6月29日 · The hip joint is a ball-and-socket type joint and is formed where the thigh bone (femur) meets the pelvis. The femur has a ball-shaped head on its end that fits into a socket formed in the pelvis, called the acetabulum. Large ligaments, tendons, and muscles around the hip joint hold the bones (ball and socket) in place and keep it from dislocating.

2024年5月30日 · As the most proximal of the lower extremity joints, the hip plays a vital role in weight-bearing and provides a wide range of motion. This detailed Muscle and Motion article will explore the hip joint’s anatomy and functions and how it …

2023年7月25日 · The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that is the point of articulation between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis. The joint is a diarthrodial joint with its inherent stability dictated primarily by its osseous components/articulations.

The hip is the body’s second largest weight-bearing joint (after the knee). It is a ball and socket joint at the juncture of the leg and pelvis. The rounded head of the femur (thighbone) forms the ball, which fits into the acetabulum (a cup-shaped socket in the pelvis).

2010年1月1日 · The hip joint is unique anatomically, physiologically, and developmentally; therefore understanding the basic structure and biomechanics of the hip is essential for clinicians, physiotherapists...
