Understanding Hip External Rotation: Anatomy, Muscles, and Movement Explained

Welcome back to the Anatomy Lab!

In this video, we’re exploring the mechanics of hip external rotation—an essential movement for activities like walking, running, dancing, and maintaining balance. We’ll break down the anatomy of the hip joint, focusing on the primary muscles involved in external rotation, such as the gluteus maximus, piriformis, obturator internus, and gemellus muscles. Additionally, we’ll discuss the role of secondary movers like the sartorius and tensor fasciae latae (TFL) in refining this movement and how these muscles work together to stabilize the hip during complex activities.

Whether you’re an athlete, a dancer, or someone looking to improve your hip mobility and flexibility, this video will provide valuable insights into the crucial function of hip external rotation.
