Hip functions influence on knee dysfunction: a proximal link to a distal problem

Michael P Reiman et al. J Sport Rehabil. 2009 Feb.

Abstract

The purpose of this commentary is to describe the multifactorial relationships between hip-joint strength, range of motion, kinetics/kinematics, and various knee pathologies, specifically as they relate across an individual's life span. Understanding the interdependence between the hip and knee joints in respect to functional activity is a necessary and relevant aspect for clinicians to investigate to ameliorate various pathological presentations at the knee that might have a proximal relationship.
