In this video, we explore the fascinating mechanics of hip flexion, an essential movement in activities like walking, running, and dancing. Discover the anatomy of the hip joint and the primary muscles involved in hip flexion, including the iliacus, psoas major, and rectus femoris. Learn how factors like knee position affect the range of motion and understand the difference between active and passive flexion. Whether you're an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or simply curious about human movement, this video will provide valuable insights into how your body works.

    Sartorius ROM is a little off. Its action on the thigh (hip) includes external rotation.. its action on the lower limb (knee) is internal. At least that's my understanding.

    Lay person here just so grateful to be able to understand my own bio mechanics.. your videos and explanations are the best I have ever come across. They have empowered me to understand how my body can move and to work on strengthening (and relaxing!) muscle groups to get the best out of my body. Thank you! 🌻🌻🌻 Also so great to hear professionals sharing these videos with patients/clients.. teaching others how to understand and help themselves is the best gift we can give in the helping professions ☺️

    this is good. Thank you. It is helpful to know that "nothing works in isolation," and that "all structures move in all 3 planes, but not equally." Two dimensional views of three dimensional function make movement difficult to comprehend, eg the Adductors are misleadingly named, since their primary role is best understood by observing their eccentric action to control abduction of the femur in the frontal plane. Psoas assists in external rotation of the femur when the hip is in flexion, but acts to internally rotate the femur when the leg is in extension (behind the mid frontal plane). Western anatomy is too reductionist.

    This is an excellent visual material to share with patients that have no idea of anatomical principles to perform the ROM exercises. Just wonderful! Thank you so much for your efforts and talent in producing this video. I am going to share it with people that will benefit from it. Blessings!

    Thanks, this was great for seeing the hip muscles. I wonder if theres a plan for a scapula one down the line. Would be a great visual to see individual muscles effect on orientation know your a channel demonstrating the actual working functions of the anatomy but would be a cool side piece to show when they go wrong.(i imagine you do this on computer.wizardry to me)😊

    This is a very good pictorial demo, so much clear seeing all connected muscles involved in movements. Thank you.

    Beautiful description. Now we are able to understand the impact of the video illustration of the hip exercises. Kindly let us have some exercises for the neck and the hands which I use extensively for playing the violin and for the easing out hamstring stiffness. Thankyou

    Just discovered your channel and I love it! I appreciate the work that you put into it!

    just discovered your channel and really enjoy it. I hope you keep making these and explaining how the body works. I hope at some point you get into internal organs.
