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 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.
The purpose of the gluteus maximus is extension, including hyperextension, of the hip.
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.
hippy haha. no just kidding.
Circumduction and rotation ARE possible around the hip joint.

Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation at the hip, and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.

One of them is the tensor fascia lata.
The range of movement in the hip joint includes flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Typically, the hip can flex up to about 120 degrees, extend around 30 degrees, and has a significant range for rotation and lateral movements. This extensive mobility allows for a variety of activities, from walking and running to sitting and squatting. However, individual range can vary based on factors like age, flexibility, and physical condition.
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.
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;

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.
In anatomical position, the hip joint is lateral to the tibia. In females, this laterality is more pronounced.
