MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hip movements include flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and hip rotation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hip acts as a multi-axial, ball-and-socket joint upon which the upper body is balanced during stance and gait. The balance and stability provided by the hip joint allow motion while supporting forces encountered during daily activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows motion and gives stability needed to bear body weight. The socket area (acetabulum) is inside the pelvis. The ball part of this joint is the top of the thighbone (femur). It joins with the acetabulum to form the hip joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ball and socket joint – the rounded head of one bone sits within the cup of another, such as the hip joint or shoulder joint. Movement in all directions is allowed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your hip joint is made up of your hip bone (pelvis) and your thigh bone (femur). Your femur is a long bone that has an angle near the top of the bone and points toward your pelvis. At the end of the thigh bone is the rounded end (femur head).
