Abstract
Movements at the hip joint are first discussed in terms of free movement of the lower limb on the trunk. The biomechanics of standing on one lower limb limited to the situation in the coronal plane are presented. The role of the hip muscles in the upright posture and in the movements at the hip joint during walking on the flat and upstairs and downstairs is described.
