Deep dives
Understanding Hip Dysplasia and Force Dissipation
Hip dysplasia is fundamentally linked to poor coverage of the femoral head, which results in compromised force dissipation due to a small contact area within the dysplastic acetabulum. This biomechanical fault can lead to increased strain on surrounding structures such as the labrum and synovium, especially when the body remains in sustained end-of-range positions. Postural alignment is crucial, as improper positioning, particularly sway back or lateral sway, can exacerbate these issues. Strengthening the abductors and addressing postural faults are vital to offloading stressed structures and improving overall hip function.
