Abstract

This chapter discusses hip function, surgery, and rehabilitation from a proprioceptive, neuromuscular control basis. Sections include hip anatomy and pathomechanics, proprioceptive and kinesthetic considerations, hip evaluation and treatment, the hip and core/lower extremity functional linkage, and therapeutic considerations that optimize hip function.
