Utilizing the hip to influence dynamic lower extremity alignment has gained considerable attention within the physical therapy related literature. There is evidence to support a proximal control theory, but there also appears to be a limit to its effectiveness, particularly with regard to sport related tasks. This course will examine the proximal control approach to rehabilitating the hip. There will be a brief functional anatomy review as well as a review of the EMG activity of some commonly utilized hip exercises. The course concludes with the introduction of the idea of expanding from a proximal theory and adopting a more global and dynamic approach to organizing human movement.
This course is part of a three part series with Steve Dischiavi. View the courses in the following sequence:

1. Historical Review of a Hip Focused Proximal Control Theory
Hip impingement surgery rate has increased by over 600% among newly trained surgeons from 2006-2010. It will be expected that the physical therapist become an expert in the prevention and rehabilitation of the hip, particularly with the growing post-operative population. This chapter will describe local, regional, and proximal interventions and discuss the evidence for each.
2. Dynamic Lower Extremity Alignment
Dynamic lower extremity alignment refers to the position of the lower extremity under certain dynamic conditions. The literature has different names and ways of describing the way this dynamic alignment is quantified; these concepts are discussed in this chapter.
3. Functional Anatomy and EMG Literature
This chapter will outline the functional anatomy related to the hip and its surrounding musculature. Particular attention is paid to the three dimensional nature of muscular control on the skeletal system, and how the pelvis is stabilized functionally in three planes. The chapter concludes with a review of EMG literature and how it impacts exercise selection.
4. Evidence-Based Review of Hip Focused Literature
The final chapter of this course will discuss the current state of the literature for hip focused exercise interventions. The concept of strength as a non-linear progression is presented and will be a tenet of the following courses. The course concludes with the introduction of the Global Dynamic Functional Stability paradigm and the concept of Dynamic Kinetic Chain Integration.
