Listen "Hip Function in Normal and Pathological Gait"
Episode Synopsis
This is Season 1, Episode 6: Hip Function in Normal and Pathological GaitIn this final part of the hip series, Dr. Dustin Hardwick (PhD in Movement Science, Physical Therapist) connects anatomy and muscle function to real-world movement. You’ll learn how the hip contributes to each phase of gait, from initial contact to terminal swing, and how internal and external moments shape stability and propulsion. We’ll also review common gait deviations—like Trendelenburg, dynamic valgus collapse, glute max lurch, and hip flexor contracture—and the underlying muscle mechanics behind them.Whether you’re a student, clinician, or movement professional, this episode ties together the structure, function, and clinical implications of the hip in motion, setting the stage for our next unit on the lumbar spine.Links:Substack (Slides with transcripts available)YouTube InstagramFacebookThreadsTikTok XBlueskyLinkTree
