Hip dysplasia is a more common condition than you might think. According to studies, this is more common in females, affecting around 72% of those diagnosed.
Hip dysplasia is a condition that causes the hip joints to not develop normally, which causes a mismatch in the fit between the femur and the pelvis, which causes joint wear in the area and causes pain, and in more serious cases, so-called dislocation. For proper monitoring, hip dysplasia is more successful when diagnosed early.
Over time, hip dysplasia can lead to limitations in daily movements, so, in a moderate and properly studied way, those who suffer from this condition must and should practice exercises to strengthen muscles in this region. But what kind of exercise should we do?
Hip dysplasia requires good control of loads and amplitudes and good hip stabilization. Good examples of exercises include pelvic elevation to ensure good control of joint positioning, as well as Smith machine squats, always taking into account the proper positioning of the feet apart to ensure good stability and distribution of loads on the hips, paying attention to the range of movement, always preserving the joint in question.
Movements in which our hips are well stabilized are an added value for preventing dislocation, so we must always take into account the positioning of the gluteus, especially in the concentric phase of the exercise, through the appropriate retroversion of the pelvis and pelvic contraction.
For hip dysplasia, doctors and fitness professionals recommend low-impact exercises, so it is advisable to avoid running for long periods, as well as jumping (such as jumping classes), or very fast movements that emphasize the movement of the joint, such as in cycling classes.
Given these conditions, properly planned and considered training provides comfort and mobility to people with these conditions, giving them the possibility of maintaining their training habits and good physical condition.
