In lateral rotation, this movement is away from the midline of the body and occurs in the transverse plane. As with most twisting motions, strain, awkward positioning, and repetition increase the chance for a work injury. Another term for lateral rotation is external rotation.

Is external rotation medial or lateral?

What is lateral rotation of the hip?
Hip lateral rotation is the outward rotation of the thigh and leg (along the transverse plane) at the hip joint. The range of motion has been estimated to be between 10-55° with a mean approximately at 32-34° (Roaas & Andersson 1982, Cheatham et al. 2017).
What muscles laterally rotate the arm?
Infraspinatus is the main muscle responsible for lateral rotation of your arm away from the centerline of your body. It’s a thick triangular muscle.
Which muscle is responsible for external rotation?
The supraspinatus muscle externally rotates and adducts the humerus; It classifies as a pennate muscle. The infraspinatus muscle abducts and externally rotates the shoulder; it works best as a rotator with a patient’s prone position, and it is considered a pennate muscle.
What does it mean to laterally rotate?
Lateral rotation Biomechanics The act of turning about an axis passing through the center of the leg; ER of the leg occurs with closed chain supination; the talus acts as an extension of the leg in frontal and transverse planes.

What is medial and lateral rotation of the shoulder?
Medial rotation of the arm or humerus can best be seen when the elbow is flexed and the hand is moved toward the midline. Muscles: subscapularis, latissimus dorsi, teres major, pectoralis major, anterior fibers of deltoid. With the elbow flexed, lateral rotation moves the hand away from the midline.
What is lateral rotator?
The lateral rotators are muscles in the hip/gluteal region of the body and their main job is basically what it sounds like: to rotate the hip joint laterally. To a lesser extent, they also help with other motions of the hip, such as extension and adduction.
What muscles cause external rotation of the hip?
- the piriformis.
- the gemellus superior and inferior.
- the obturator internus and externus.
- the quadratus femoris.
- the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus.
- the psoas major and minor.
- the sartorius.

Hip external rotation is when the leg rotates outward, away from the midline of the body (the knees are turning outwards). Hip internal rotators are used in daily life with movements such as stepping to the side or sitting down in a car.
What is normal external rotation of hip?
External rotation: 0 to 45 degrees. Internal rotation: 0 to 45 degrees.
How do you strengthen the external hip rotator?
- Sit on the floor with a straight back. Extend the right leg out.
- Position the sole of the left foot on the right thigh, as close to the pelvic region as possible.
- Lean forward, placing the palms on the floor on either side of the right leg.
- Hold for 30 seconds.
- Repeat on the other side.

What are the 6 deep external rotators?
The six deep external rotator muscles of the hip (piriformis (PI), quadratus femoris (QF), obturator internus (OI), obturator externus (OE), superior gemellus (SG), and inferior gemellus (IG)) play a role in both hip stabilization and rotation and are damaged and relocated during total hip arthroplasty surgery.
How do I know if I have damaged my rotator cuff?
Be described as a dull ache deep in the shoulder. Disturb sleep. Make it difficult to comb your hair or reach behind your back. Be accompanied by arm weakness.
What limits external rotation of the hip?
Those muscles include your adductors as well as your gluteus medius and minimus. Both of these groups of muscles can limit hip external rotation and the adductors can limit both hip internal and hip external rotation, depending on which adductor you are referring to.
