Hip

Question 1

Name the joint type and articulating bones for hip

Answer 1

Joint type = Ball and socket

AB = Pelvic girdle and Femur

Question 2

Name the plane, agonist and antagonist for hip flexion

Give an example

Answer 2

Plane = Sagittal

Agonist = Iliopsoas

Antagonist = Gluteus maximus

Eg = straightening of leg eg. Follow through of penalty kick

Question 3

Name the plane, agonist and antagonist for hip extension

Give an example

Answer 3

Plane = Sagittal

Agonist = Gluteus maximus

Antagonist = Iliopsoas

Eg = backwards movement of leg eg. Prepping for a penalty kick

Question 4

Name the plane, agonist and antagonist for hip abduction

Give an example

Answer 4

Plane = Frontal

Agonist = Gluteus medius / minimus

Antagonist = Adductor magnus

Eg = movement away from midline eg. Jumping jack

Question 5

Name the plane, agonist and antagonist for hip adduction

Give an example

Answer 5

Plane = Frontal

Agonist = Adductor Magnus

Antagonist = Gluteus medius / minimus

Eg = Movement towards midline of body eg. Jumping jack

Question 6

Name the plane, agonist and antagonist for hip medial rotation

Give an example

Answer 6

Plane = Transverse

Agonist = Gluteus medius / minimus

Antagonist = Gluteus maximus

Eg = internal rotation of leg (toe pointing inwards) eg. Opening the gates / Golfer performing a drive

Question 7

Name the plane, agonist and antagonist for hip lateral rotation

Give an example

Answer 7

Plane = Gluteus maximus

Agonist = Gluteus maximus

Antagonist = Gluetus medius / minimus

Eg = movement of hip away from body (toe pointing outwards) eg. Closing the gates / pivoting in netball
