PY - 2023 T2 - Examination of Orthopedic & Athletic Injuries, 5e AB - The hip, a synovial ball-and-socket joint, is vital to static and dynamic postural control as it supports the weight of the trunk and facilitates load transmission between the trunk and lower extremities. During ambulation, the hip is subject to significant ground reaction forces. When standing on one leg, three to four times the body weight is transmitted through the hip,1 and, when jogging, up to eight times the body weight is transmitted through each joint.2 SN - PB - F. A.
