hip movement

Question 1

anterior/posterior pelvic rotation

Answer 1

sagittal or anteroposterior plane

Question 2

anterior pelvic rotation

Answer 2

accomplished by hip flexion and/or lumbar extension

Question 3

posterior pelvic rotation

Answer 3

accomplished by hip extension and/or lumbar flexion

Question 4

right/left lateral hip rotation

Answer 4

lateral or frontal plane

Question 5

left lateral hip rotation

Answer 5

accomplished by left hip abduction, right hip adduction and/or right lumbar lateral flexion

Question 6

right/left transverse pelvic rotation

Answer 6

horizontal or transverse plane of motion

Question 7

left transverse pelvic rotation

Answer 7

accomplished by right hip external rotation, left hip internal rotation and/or right lumbar rotation

Question 8

hip flexion

Answer 8

movement of femur straight anteriorly toward pelvis

Question 9

hip extension

Answer 9

movement of the femur straight posteriorly away from the pelvis; sometimes referred to as hyperextension

Question 10

hip abduction

Answer 10

movement of femur laterally to side away from midline

Question 11

hip adduction

Answer 11

movement of femur medially toward midline

Question 12

hip external rotation

Answer 12

rotary movement of femur laterally around its longitudinal axis away from midline; lateral rotation

Question 13

hip internal rotation

Answer 13

rotary movement of femur medially around its longitudinal axis toward midline; medial rotation

Question 14

hip diagonal abduction

Answer 14

movement of femur in a diagonal plane away from midline of body

Question 15

hip diagonal adduction

Answer 15

movement of femur in a diagonal plane toward midline of body

Question 16

hip horizontal abduction

Answer 16

movement of femur in a horizontal or transverse plane away from pelvis

Question 17

hip horizontal adduction

Answer 17

movement of femur in a horizontal or transverse plane toward pelvis

Question 18

anterior pelvic rotation

Answer 18

anterior movement of upper pelvis; iliac crest tilts forward in a sagittal plane; anterior tilt; downward rotation

Question 19

posterior pelvic rotation

Answer 19

posterior movement of upper pelvis; iliac crest tilts backward in a sagittal plane; posterior tilt; upward rotation

Question 20

left lateral pelvic rotation

Answer 20

in frontal plane left pelvis moves inferiorly in relation to right pelvis; either left pelvis rotates downward or right pelvis rotates upward; left lateral tilt

Question 21

right lateral pelvic rotation

Answer 21

in frontal plane right pelvis moves inferiorly in relation to left pelvis; either right pelvis rotates downward or left pelvis rotates upward; right lateral tilt

Question 22

left transverse pelvic rotation

Answer 22

in horizontal plane pelvis rotates to body’s left; right iliac crest moves anteriorly in relation to left iliac crest, which moves posteriorly

Question 23

right transverse pelvic rotation

Answer 23

in horizontal plane pelvis rotates to body’s right; left iliac crest moves anteriorly in relation to right iliac crest, which move posteriorly
