Sports Injuries of the Hip Adductors Complex

Of the 21 muscles that surround and support the hip, 11 are adductors. This speaks to the need for the adductor group to function to the best of its ability and enables the athlete to have some level of injury protection against hip injuries. Assessment skills of this underserved region are imperative in this mission. Therefore, taking the time to assess this region adequately is an important aspect of the hip evaluation.
