When doing joint mobs a posterior glide of the head of the femur will stretch the posterior capsule and increase which movements?

Flexion, IR


(When accessory motions of the femoral head are limited, a mobilizing force that moves the head of the femur into the direction of restriction can help restore motion.)

Y ligament, ligament of Bigelow

Which ligament reinforces the hip joint capsule medially/inferiorly and what motion does it limit?

Pubofemoral ligament, limits hyperextension and abduction

Which ligament reinforces the hip joint capsule posteriorly and what motion does it limit?

Ischiofemoral ligament, limits hyperextension and IR

Which ligament allows a person to stand in the upright position without using any muscles and what is this called?

Iliofemoral ligament, "hanging on the Y ligament "
