Introduction

In 1964, Mennell described the hip joint as the most nearly perfect joint in the body. The hip connects the pelvis to the lower extremities and is considered one of the largest joints of the human body. Its primary roles are to allow weight-bearing through the lower extremities and to ensure stability, both in standing and when mobilising. The surrounding muscles enable the hip joint to withstand high forces during daily activities. Dynamic stability provided by the hip muscles can increase the static stability of the bones, ligaments, capsules and bursae. This course will explore the key anatomical features that enable the hip to perform its many roles.

Aims

This course aims to introduce a functional approach to understanding hip joint anatomy.

I enjoyed this course! It describes all the bones that make up the hip joint, the muscles surrounding it, and the ligaments that hold it in place. I recommend this course to those who want to understand the structure of the hip joint in detail.

Dr Pandya is a great presenter with vast clinical knowledge. This course will assist in appreciating why the understanding of functional anatomy is beneficial to successful patient outcomes!

Dr Pandya presents this course very well. Although it sounds basic, the practice and usage of the hip anatomy knowledge and associating it with injuries and patient complaints are clear and concise even for non-English speakers or learners like me. I wish this online course could be available, accessed and accepted in the Philippines.
