A hand-held dynamometer was used to measure the strength of hip internal rotators and external rotators in 2 positions: hip flexion in sitting and hip extension in supine. The hip was tested in a neutral position with respect to rotation, abduction, and adduction. Isometric force in pounds ...
In today's world, most people make a living from a seated position along with sitting in their car and while at home. All of that sitting over time increases tightness in the hamstrings. Having tight hamstrings causes the hips and pelvis to rotate back which flattens the lower back causing...

1. Hip Flexion This is what happens in movements where your knees come up to your chest. Think things like sit-ups, riding a bike, running, squatting, etc. 2. Hip Extension This is the opposite of flexion. Because it’s an opposing motion, many of the movements are the same as hip...

Although the hip is a limb joint, clinically it is part of the pelvis, borne out by the fact that frequently the first symptom in lesions of the hip joint is low-back pain. In disorders of the hip joint, the hip – and therefore also the knee –is in flexion; it is also in exter...
And I teach active hip flexion to make forward bending poses (hamstring stretches) easier. 1. Sitting upright with chest lifted. 2. Leaning Back with arms reaching forward and heels on the floor. 3. Lifting one thigh. 4. Lifting the other thigh. The first action is to lift and ...
Another cause your husband should be aware of: His hip flexors may have become tight, causing the hamstrings to become tight, which then causes an unnatural knee extension and flexion when walking, and may lead to knee pain. Q&A Target area: Stretches the hip flexors (the muscles running ...
Hip joint flexion External hip rotation Adduction of the hip joint Core and hips stability Because the psoas essentially bridges the gap between your torso and your lower body, it’s a critical muscle in many movements. It’s also prone to tightness, as sitting places it in a shortened posit...
