Because of the orientation of the Acetabulum, true distraction or traction of the hip joint will occur in what direction?
Inferior
Lateral direction
Posterior & inferior glide is what Arthrokinematic motion?
Flexion
Inferior glide is what Arthrokinematic motion?
Abduction
What is flexibility?
The ROM available in a joint, such as the hip, or a series of joint, such as the spine.
