GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -External rotation of the hip is when the thigh and knee rotate outward, away from the body. Actions that use external hip rotation include getting into a car, pitching a baseball, and all other movements that require a person to rotate the pelvis while placing most of the body’s weight on one leg.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of these movements is hip rotation. Externally rotating your hips occurs when the thigh bone rotates outward, which happens when the knee is flexed or extended. When the knee is flexed, external rotation of the hips results in the knee pointing outward.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hip internal rotation is the twisting movement of your thigh inward from your hip joint. If you try this while standing, your foot should also turn so that your toes are pointing toward the rest of your body. You use your hip internal rotators to walk, run, squat, crouch, and crawl.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hip joint is a multiaxial joint and permits a wide range of motion; flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, external rotation, internal rotation and circumduction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lie on your stomach with your hands under your head and the legs extended back. Bend your right knee and place your foot on the back of your left knee. Squeeze your right glute and lift the knee a few inches off the floor. Pause for a second and return to the starting position. More items
