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
