Answer
The tension of the following ligaments limit the degree of extension of the hip joint":
1. The iliofemoral ligament
2. The ischiofemoral ligament
3. The Pubofemoral ligament
Work Step by Step
The three ligaments are the iliofemoral, the ischiofemoral and the pubofemoral
The capsule of the hip joint which is probably the strongest structure in the body,helps to strengthen and also limit movements of the hip joint. In addition the acetabular labrum deepens the acetabulum; it secures the hip joint against easy dislocation and also restricts movement of the femur.
