Biomechanics of Gait

Internal hip rotation is crucial for maintaining proper biomechanics and overall mobility. This movement, facilitated by muscles such as the gluteus medius and minimus, allows the femur to rotate inward within the hip socket, enabling activities like walking, running, and squatting. Adequate internal hip rotation ensures balanced muscle function and joint stability, reducing the risk of injuries and enhancing athletic performance. Conversely, limited internal rotation can lead to compensatory mo
