Question

TRUE/FALSE: If a ground reaction force is posterior to the hip joint, it creates a flexion moment at the hip.

Answer 1

If a ground reaction force is posterior to the hip joint, it creates a flexion moment at the hip.

Step-by-step explanation:

TRUE: If a ground reaction force is posterior to the hip joint, it creates a flexion moment at the hip.

The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint that provides stability and a wide range of motion. When standing, the supporting ligaments are tight, pulling the head of the femur into the acetabulum. The posterior view of the right hip joint shows the direction of the forces and the position of the capsule.
