Kinesiology of the Pelvis and Hip: Structure, Function, and Clinical Considerations

What Will You Learn?

• Detailed analysis of the pelvis, formed by three main bones (ilium, pubis, and ischii)
• The femur's anatomical characteristics, with emphasis on its role as the body's longest bone and its relationship to stride length
• Detailed examination of femoral inclination angles (normal value 125°) and the clinical implications of coxa vara and coxa valga
• Femoral torsion and its developmental changes from birth to adulthood
• The hip joint's ball-and-socket structure and its stabilizing mechanisms
• The acetabular labrum's role in joint stability and proprioception
• Detailed analysis of the joint capsule and key ligaments (iliofemoral, pubofemoral, and ischiofemoral)
