Practice Question

Identify the anatomical movement illustrated below and state the joint involved (for example flexion of the knee joint).

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Flexion of the hip joint

Rationale:

🖊️ The image shows the leg moving forward and upward in front of the body, as indicated by the green arrow.

🖊️ This action decreases the angle between the anterior thigh and the pelvis, which defines flexion at the hip joint.

🖊️ The joint involved is the hip joint (acetabulofemoral joint), a ball-and-socket synovial joint.

🖊️ The primary muscles producing hip flexion include the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and sartorius.

🖊️ The illustrated movement is best described as flexion of the hip joint.
