The hip joint is one of the largest weight – bearing joint of the body. Most of our activities like walking, jumping, sitting, squatting, dancing, swimming, climbing etc. depends on our hip as it provides mobility along with stability. In routine life our hip moves millions of times (to do the above activities) without even knowing, but once it gets damaged not only hip becomes stiff, we walk with a painful limp and every step needs considerable effort, thereby restricting our activities significantly. It is only then that we come to realize how much freedom of movement means to us. |
