​
Description

Hip hinge measures the maximum amount of rear hip flexion during the stride phase, indicating the loading and preparation of the rear hip for power generation.

​
Normative Ranges

Percentile distributions by competition level from the 2026 Q1 dataset; the optimal range spans the 25th–75th percentiles.
