In this episode, we explore the assessment of hip dysplasia, focusing on the condition's definition, the differences between extension and flexion-based movements, and both subjective and objective assessment techniques. We discuss the importance of observing gait, head of femur translation, single leg stance, and various special tests, including apprehension testing, to diagnose and understand hip dysplasia.
