Document Summary

Hip: movements of the hip and the pelvis: hip joint: acetabulofemoral joint, head of the femur articulates with the acetbelum which creates the hip, bony landmarks to remember, great trochanter, lesser trochanter. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. The hip is the second most mobile joint in the body. Hip dislocation is relatively rare in young healthy adults: but due to lessening muscle/bones mass in older adults, hip dislocations are more common. Parts of the pelvis: ilium superior, ischium posterior/lower, pubis anterior/lower. Muscle origins: hip flexor, origin anterior, hip extensors, origin posterior, hip adductors medial, origin medial, hip abductors, origin lateral. If the muscle just move the hip the insertion is on the femur. If they cross the knee the insertion is on the tibula and fibula. The rectus femoris has an anterior origin on the pelvis. The vastus muscles only have action on the knee not the hip.
