No, they are not the same. Lateral rotation of the hip involves turning the thigh away from the midline of the body, while external rotation of the hip involves rotating the thigh outward so that the toes point away from the midline of the body.

If the medial hip rotators are tight what action will they impede?

If medial hip rotators are tight, then they will impede lateral hip rotation because lateral hip rotation requires the medial hip rotators to stretch to allow the lateral hip rotators to contract and rotate the hip laterally.

Concentric contraction of the hamstrings causes which joint action?

knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.


What muscles are used in hip medial rotation?

Knee Rotation:- as extension progresses, shorter, more highly curved lateral condyle exhausts its articular surface andis checked by ACL, whereas larger and less curved medial condyle continues its forwardroll & skids backward, assisted by tightening of PCL;- result is a medial rotation of femur (external tibial rotation) that tightens collateral ligaments, & joint is "screwed home",to use mechanical phraseology;- flexion of extended knee is preceded by lateral rotation of femur (or medial rotation of tibia), usually produced by popliteus;- this rotation relaxes the tension of the collateral ligaments sufficiently to permit flexion;


What are some devices that prevent external rotation of the leg?

Some devices that can prevent external rotation of the leg include knee immobilizers, hinged knee braces, and hip abduction braces. These devices help to restrict movement and stabilize the leg and hip joint, reducing the risk of external rotation or unwanted movement.


What 6 movements do we have in the hip?

The six movements of the hip are flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Flexion brings the thigh closer to the torso, while extension moves it away. Abduction moves the thigh away from the midline, and adduction brings it back toward the midline. Internal and external rotation involve rotating the thigh inward or outward, respectively.
