The Normal Hip: Mechanical Characteristics • Free mobility: ROM>needed for ADL • Stability • Narrow physiologic range of loading

• Anatomy: “Normal” Hip • Spherical head congruous with spherical acetabulum in all positions • “Sufficient” head-neck offset; “normal” version • “Sufficient” coverage without overcoverage • Mechanics : Motion should be MORE than needed for ADL * Motion smooth/gliding/non-jamming throughout ROM * Stability; tolerable contact conditions throughout ROM
