Description
Hip drift in children who cannot walk is tied to how stiff their hip muscles are, a Danish cohort study by Muhammed Bakhtiyar and co-authors reports in 2026. The study drew on a national follow-up program and covered 422 children at the two lowest movement levels, with 786 hips tracked by X-ray.
Nearly half the hips reached the drift level classed as at risk. Risk climbed step by step with total hip stiffness scores, reaching the top level at the stiffest grade. Stiffness in the muscles that pull the legs inward showed the steadiest link of the three muscle groups tested. The authors back routine stiffness checks to flag hips early.
