Wow. Never in my life have I seen/heard such a simple & pleasantly understandable, efficiently effective explanation of what these muscles actually do, where they're actually located, and how they actually function. Thank you, Professor. You're the man! Subbed!
Me too. Why do the toes tend to point away from the centerline of the body along the line of advancement? People who are pigeon-toed don't have this and they are often fast runners.
I think everyone in school learning anatomy and kinesiology should watch this channel to learn it simply omg wow I’ve been trying to learn it and hold the info for so long and now it’s all clicking. Going to binge this channel thank you.
My knowledge and understanding benefitted so much from this video! I love how you drew lines and made cuts to make it so clear where things are in relation to others. And the part about how external rotation of the thigh is needed to walk straight now makes sense. I will be thinking about these muscles every time I walk, full of joy and gratitude. Thank you so much for making this video, I will be back for all the videos you make and have made 🙂
Yes! Yes! You are getting closer. The Piriformis muscle! Now imagine being in a seated positions, and receiving forced jarring trauma to the knee that travels to the hip. Based on what I feel, it is two muscles. The Piriformis muscle is where most of the pain is located. I get pain in the back side of the deep hip rotator muscle. In the last graphic you showed, taking those steps (walking), looking straight down at the picture, deep in the hip joint, I get serious pain, in the correct way to take a step, but in back side of joint based on the picture, looking directly down on the two joints. It hurts less in my hip with the incorrect way to take step. I hope that helps. You already have it all figured out. That's why you posted the picture.
The minute you showed the walk... A huge light bulb switched on and suddenly I get it... I just get it! Thank you! I think now I understand why my g.med and piriformis is over active as I struggle to externally rotate my leg. Now I understand this whole gait business too. Jesus doc, thanks so much!!!
Same here. My g. med has been overactive to the point of almost constant pain, whilst I felt a lot of tightness deep inside the buttock and didnt know how to get rid of it. Now it makes sense.
@@alinaa641 tbh since my comment I've really been stretching and improving my external rotation.. It's helped a little but problem still there and I've now found some nasty adhesions at the back of knee due to weak calves. If you have nerve problems then I suggest you check along the whole path way of the sciatic nerve and peroneal nerve to make sure there is nothing strange going on. Hope that helps too.
@@DWpeep thanks a lot for that! I did have the nerve checked and it appeared fine. I'll try to do the stretches and strengthening exercises and see what happens. You might want to use foam rollers and have massages, exercise consistently and you should improve. My friend had nasty adhesions at the wrist. She massaged and exercised regularly and all doctors were amazed to see the adhesions gone. Best of luck!
@@alinaa641 you're welcome and thanks for your advice too. I'm using a lacrosse ball and spiky ball right now followed by stretching. Plenty of calf raises too. I hope you recover quick and come back stronger. Side planks and side clam planks helped me the most for g.med.
Cannot believe that he explained such a complex anatomical region with such clarity and brevity. Literally took me years to grasp fully. Essential for doing ultrasound guided injections.
and for such movement's practices like yoga udo portal's work, gray cook's teaching and on and on. Understanding fully help hit a clear fully aware precision of movement An inspiration And motivation ..
Wow you are way better teacher than my previous anatomy teacher. Thank you so much Doctor for your expertise in this field. Not everybody are great teachers.
WOW !!! SO simple about something really complicated :)) Thank you it helped me a lot to prepare for my anatomy exam and what is more to actually UNDERSTAND !!!
I seriously do not know what to write...or how to say thank you...you are doing a wonderful job....our professors needs to come and learn from you how to teach not lecture.
Neat, thanks. So...question for you. At a neutral standing position, my left foot points in a fairly normal direction - 10 to 15 degrees to the left of straightforward, but my right foot has always pointed 30-45 degrees to the right. Also, I've never really been comfortable sitting indian-style or crossing my right leg over my left. None of these hurt but my legs just...won't do it. Are all these motions associated with these hip rotators? I found the vid because I started working out but hurt my shoulder rotator a while back. Got back into it and have had a ton of improvement by prioritizing rotator cuff exercises. As I ramp up squats, figured it would be a good idea to increase my understanding of the supporting musculature in the hip as well. But if I have a natural imbalance already, maybe I should take care of that first. Hmm, anyways, appreciate any input of advice. Not asking for a diagnosis, just trying to understand the video more personally. Thanks!
Your videos help me alot to understand . When it comes to memorizing it I have a hard time . Do you have any tips and tricks that help memorize fast and efficently?
Do you think weak rotator muscles could be the cause of my ruptured posterior tibia tendon? I ran a marathon and I noticed my gait was off for awhile. I just got additional arch support for over pronation and figured it would fix the problem. How do I strengthen these hip muscles? … most informative and understandable video I’ve ever seen. It helps a lot!
Hello Dr. Morton, Postural restoration is concerned with the movement of the hips, pelvis, rib cage, scapula, even up to the bones of the head. How all these bones interact is quite complex to me. But since humans are asymmetric on the inside our bodies tend to shift to the right, I am told and I think I experience. So the movements to get our weight to rotate to the left are sort of more important. So this may reduce the complexity by half even if it is not intuitive. I really like your top down view of how the hips rotate. Do you have any other animations to show how the rib cage, shoulders, neck, diaphragms, move during walking and breathing, especially in pushing and pulling our bodies to the left: left heel strike to left toe off?
Thank you very much Noted A. I have a question, would you mind doing a video on overactive and underactive muscles and explain us how it all affects certain muscle work, explaining relations when there are muscle imbalances?
Is there a way to tell if limited external/internal rotation is due to simply individual hip anatomy or due to the tight rotator ligaments/muscles surrounding the joints?
I’ve suffered from hyper lordosis, or anterior pelvic tilt, since adolescence. I’m retired now and am spending hours upon hours everyday separating out every piece of this complex puzzle that most people just take for granted! I’ve discovered that some of the muscles you describe here as deep hip rotators also play a role in bringing the lower hips forward so that the top and bottom of the ilium are vertically aligned-instead of being tilted. Would you agree with this?
Glutes and hamstrings will posteriorly tilt the pelvis when contracted or shortened, so yes strengthening your glutes and hamstrings will help bring your pelvis back into a neutral position
Hi, superb content. My right foot is out toeing, with a lot of knee and hip discomfort (my right hip feels disconnected from femur). Would that point to an internal or external rotated hip? And to that end, could you advise on any mucles groups to work on specifically?
Great vid. This probably a long shot but do you recommend and specific exercises for pain in these muscles? I get pain when stood up and external rotate my leg when to kick a football. Thanks
Doctor, I have very limited use of my left leg inner thigh muscle and calf. Could a compressed obturator nerve be a possible cause for this weakness? I was born with a club left foot and have lumbar back pain since I was 14. I’m now 69. Thank you!
The walking illustration at the end is just brilliant. Simple, yet managed to blow my mind. You, sir, you have a gift.
That last animation of hip rotator muscles activated during walking blew my mind
:) Thanks Brandon
INDEED
same
Mine too
mind blown!

Junior surgical trainee here, these videos are amazing! Thank you!
Where have you been all my life!!! Thank you ! This is awesome.
The superior view of the gait cycle is genius to understand hip IR and ER during walking. Well done!
World best anatomist ever !! Loving so much your explanation ! Thank you and keep going !

The "Shinnng" gets me every time😂😂. Thank you for the awesome videos doctor, I don't like anatomy but I really enjoy the videos you make.
the best noted anatomist I have ever seen! Amazing. thank you Dr. Morton;
Yes! Yes! You are getting closer.

An inspiration
And motivation ..
Great explainers such as yourself are creating new generations of professionals.
Oh my God!!!!
Dr.Morton....finding your channel is the best thing that happened to me during the past five months....
Thank you...
Excellent video! I especially appreciate your demonstration of the change of foot positions during walking. Makes clear a lot of things.
Glad it was helpful!
I can’t described u by words just i want tell u how lucky I am by seen your amazing videos
From Iraq ♥️
I just started learning about hip muscles today, what great timing!
Your models have got great muscles. I figured working out under your supervision is how to achieve those great muscles.
Wow you are way better teacher than my previous anatomy teacher. Thank you so much Doctor for your expertise in this field. Not everybody are great teachers.
So nice of you
You are the best anatomist! I'm teaching my students dissections and always recommend your videos! Every year :)
Hey thanks Victoria... all the best this summer
Can't thank you enough Dr. Morton. Superb Video. Helped me a ton
You're my favorite professor i have no doubt 🙏🙏 thank you for all these courses
Wow, thank you!
Woow, I love your explanations and illustrations.
Great Job.Thanks
You're very welcome!
Thank you for your time and effort... Extremely instructional explanation
Thank you. So chrystal clear. Mmmh i will now pay attention to both hips when walking..
Wow. That explains a lot. Thank you. Makes perfect sense now to see it broke down in such a way. Thank you again for the visuals
WOW !!! SO simple about something really complicated :)) Thank you it helped me a lot to prepare for my anatomy exam and what is more to actually UNDERSTAND !!!
i wish i would have discovered ur channel years ago when i was studying for my Anatomy exam
Subbed. The focus and density of this video is phenomenal.
Amazing teaching thank you for your effort😍😍😍
So digestible for a layman like myself. Crucial to know what’s going on with my hips, and this has helped immensely.
I seriously do not know what to write...or how to say thank you...you are doing a wonderful job....our professors needs to come and learn from you how to teach not lecture.
Wow, thank you!
Man this is really high high quality explanation thank you
Glad it was helpful!
You are amazing, i hope my teacher can explain like this when i medical student 🤣, but not late for me to learn it when i'm resident
Watching almost all of your videos man. Thank you
Absolutely incredible breakdown. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and I love the closer to fine at the end too
Thanks 👍
Thank you, great explanation and visualization!!!!
Zingggg!!! I super love that effect zingggg!!! Thank you zingggg!!! 🙏🏻❤️
Amazing explanation ❤Thank u so much
You single handedly got me through my second year of medical school. I salute you sir
Really happy to find your channel, excellent content and crystal clear explained.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for these videos, they are extremely helpful and make anatomy really fun and interesting to learn!
Amazing, amazing, amazing videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!

Amiazing can't wait to see the next video, that was my first from your channel.
Very simple,clearly, easy explain,
Anatomy of Bible thx very much, so I'll follow you
This helped me a ton, thank you!

Thank you so much for including the gait. Hope you also do tensegrity structures.
Thank you! Happy to subscribe.
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you so much fo this! I am currently studying fo my NPTE and these videos really help out! Def will subscribe for more content!
great video, thanks
fun and veery informative. thanks!! exactly what I needed to understand that topic
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful and very clear. Thank you
Thank you... you are the BEST!!!
Bravo! Excellent!
Thank you for the amazing video❤❤
watched without sound. still perfect
Would’ve loved to hear about the action of these muscles with a flexed hip. Doing sitting 90/90’s isn’t doing the stretch we think it is
Excellent work
Sounds suspiciously like the guy from Khan academy. Also amazing video!

Wow.. perfect! now it's sorted🏋♂
It si just amazing Thank you very much❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you very much Noted A. I have a question, would you mind doing a video on overactive and underactive muscles and explain us how it all affects certain muscle work, explaining relations when there are muscle imbalances?
youre my hero
What are the best stretches & exercises for the gemellus superior and inferior?
Hi, great video!!!
Is there a video that explains what muscles help internal rotation of the hip?
the gluteal muscle video will describe that
I love your sound effects lol shinggg!
Thank you 🙏🏻 🤍
God bless you

Oooohh oooohhh thanks Doc
Great vid. This probably a long shot but do you recommend and specific exercises for pain in these muscles? I get pain when stood up and external rotate my leg when to kick a football. Thanks
Wonderful ❣️
Brilliant
Thank you for the help 🧸
God bless u thank u!
Can you show visually how the hip internally and externally behaves when riding a bike?
Thank you❤️❤️❤️
thank you master !
OK so this "SHIIIINNNN" has really gotten into my head...
I am interested in internal rotation, for example in the walking motion, but it wasn't explained or made as clear as the external rotation.
Doctor, I have very limited use of my left leg inner thigh muscle and calf. Could a compressed obturator nerve be a possible cause for this weakness? I was born with a club left foot and have lumbar back pain since I was 14. I’m now 69. Thank you!
