Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Femoral anteversion affects the lever arm and moment-generating capacity of the hip abductors, while an increased hip internal rotation during walking was proposed to be a compensatory mechanism to restore the abductive lever arm. Children with isolated increased femoral anteversion, however, do not always present a deficit in the net hip abduction moment during gait, suggesting that a more comprehensive understanding of the effect of morphology and motion on muscle forces and moments is needed to aid clinical decision making.
