Independent practice--on the horns of a dilemma. A special communication.

This communication was adapted from a presentation at the Annual Meeting of the North Carolina Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association, Asheville, NC, October 18, 1985. Because the professional concerns and status of the physical therapists of North Carolina are not unlike those of physical therapists in other parts of the United States, I was encouraged by my colleagues to share my thoughts and observations with the broad community of physical therapists. Although I am addressing North Carolina physical therapists specifically, my deeper concern is for our profession and its future course.

The hip joint: structure, stability, and stress; a review.

A review of the structure of the hip joint as related to its stability is presented. The forces exerted at the hip and along the proximal end of the femur are discussed in relation to the anatomical position of bone and to normal stresses incurred during standing and gait. Clinical considerations of selected hip abnormalities include a review of changes in normal mechanical forces found in coxa valga, coxa vava, arthritis, and fracture.
