Hip rotation during standing and dynamic activities and the compensatory effect of femoral anteversion: An in-vivo analysis of asymptomatic young adults using three-dimensional computed tomography models and dual fluoroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals are thought to compensate for femoral anteversion by altering hip rotation. However, the relationship between hip rotation in a neutral position (i.e. static rotation) and dynamic hip rotation is poorly understood, as is the relationship between anteversion and hip rotation.

Research objective

Herein, anteversion and in-vivo hip rotation during standing, walking, and pivoting were measured in eleven asymptomatic, morphologically normal, young adults using three-dimensional computed tomography models and dual fluoroscopy.

Methods

Using correlation analyses, we: 1) determined the relationship between hip rotation in the static position to that measured during dynamic activities, and 2) evaluated the association between femoral anteversion and hip
