Hip Flashcards
The acetabulum joint is much more stable than the shoulder joint
True
Strongest Ligament in the body
Iliofemoral ligament
If hip is affected
The weight is lowered carefully on the affected side, and the knee bends slightly to absorb the shock
The length of the step on the affected side is
Shorter than the unaffected side to minimize the load
If the hip is stiff
The entire trunk and affected leg swing forward together
The use of the cane can decrease the load on the hip be as much as
40%
More hip range of motion is required for activities of daily living than
Is required for gait
Shoe tying

What activity requires the most hip flexion
Stooping
What takes more flexion ascending or descending stairs
Ascending
What has more strength hip flexors or extensors
They’re the same
What has more strength hip adductors or hip abductors
Hip adductors are 2.5 times stronger
Least to most load on the hip
Squatting
Up and down stairs one at a time
Crossing legs so that the ankle of one foot rests on the knee of the opposite leg
Up and down stairs two at a time
Running straight ahead
Running and decelerating
Running and twisting
One legged hop
Jumping
Hip load standing
0.3 times the body weight
Hip load standing on one limb
2.4-2.6 times the body weight
Hip load walking
1.3-5.8 times the body weight
Hip load walking up the stairs
3 times the body weight
Hip load running
4.5 times the body weight
