Answer from Sherry
The triple hinge is actually the 3 angles of the femur bone in the hip socket. Pronation, supination and neutral. Or how Pinush likes to call them (penguin-feet, pigeon-toed and neutral). Here is a short video of those 3 hip angles. The “hinging” part would be to slowly draw the straight leg in and out with each foot position. Thus why I refer to that as the “hinge” of the hip joint.
