"Hip" always refers to the leg joints attached to the *hip-bone*. If Applejack was talking about one of Granny Smith's foreleg joints, she would have said Granny had a bad *shoulder*. There are special support devices for injured hind legs used by veterinarians, but either the animators weren't aware of them, or they thought they would look too demeaning on a character we were supposed to empathize with- and rear-leg support devices for quadrupeds do look really, really silly.
