The Hip Joint A1 - Dutton, Mark PY - 2011 T2 - Dutton's Orthopedic Survival Guide: Managing Common Conditions AB - Due to its location, design, and function, the hip joint transmits truly impressive loads, both tensile and compressive. Loads of up to eight times body weight have been demonstrated in the hip joint during jogging, with potentially greater loads present during vigorous athletic competition.1 In addition to providing stability, the hip joint permits a great deal of mobility. Any imbalance between these two variables can leave the hip joint and surrounding tissues prone to soft tissue injuries, impingement syndromes, and joint dysfunction.
