Master Class # 3: Focus on the hip

In this installment, we discuss hip mechanics as they relate to gait and gait analysis. Anatomy, kinetics and kinematics are discussed, along with many pathologies affecting the same. We discuss some “not often thought of” causes of hip pain, such as the iliocapsularis and labral tears. Closed chain functions of the glutes that you may not have thought of along with the “deep six” are also elaborated on. Impingement syndromes and coupled glide/roll movements round out this discussion
