What is the close-packed position of the hip joint?

What will be an ideal response?


ANS:
The close-packed position for the hip joint is full extension (or hyperextension). In this position, the ligaments are twisted, drawing the articular surfaces together. This is also the point where the ligaments and capsule can maintain the hip joint and pelvis against the extension force of gravity without active muscular assistance.
