5.1 Before you begin learning about the hip try to list (quiz?):
The physiological movements that occur over the hip?
The muscles that work on the hip?
The ligaments and their function eg what they restrict?
What limits each movement?
What are the key bony points around the hip?
If you struggle to answer these questions consider looking into more depth around Hip Anatomy at this site

In clinical practice you would first observe the patient moving actively. This might be a functional demonstration of the problem or a more formal look at physiological movements in specific planes.
You would then move in to check passive range. Check out our goniometry site to find out more!
Explaining functional rotation at the hip.movThis video looks at rotation of the hip in function.
This video looks at rotation of the hip in function.
Before you watch the video consider what function requires Medial (internal) or Lateral (external) rotation of the hip.
