Q & A for The 16% – Hip Mechanics that Increase Hip External Rotation

January 24, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

Talking about possible influences on hip internal and external rotation.

There are plenty of clues in the anatomy. Anatomy texts rarely talk about real, living humans and try to apply dead guy anatomy to movement. It doesn’t work and often creates a limiting, confusing model.

Naming muscles external rotators is wrong because as we move, the way many of these muscles influence movement change and they can become internal rotators. Don’t let the name confuse you and limit your thinking.

[quick note: early in the video, I misspoke and said that the muscles below the line at the trochanters limits ER. That’s incorrect. They limit IR. Chalk that one up to not enough Neuro Coffee, doing creative work before the Neutein kicks in, and shooting video in the wee hours of the morning]

Have a great Friday and post your questions for the Q & A. askbillhartman@gmail.com subject line ask Bill Hartman questions.
