7 wrz 2024 · Medial and lateral rotation describe movement of the limbs around their long axis: Medial rotation is a rotational movement towards the midline. It is sometimes referred to as internal rotation.
Movement that brings the anterior surface of the limb toward the midline of the body is called medial (internal) rotation. Conversely, rotation of the limb so that the anterior surface moves away from the midline is lateral (external) rotation (see Figure 9.5.1 f ).
Medial rotation is defined as the internal rotation of the limb towards the midline. For instance, the medial rotation at the hip joint can be brought about by internally rotating a fully extended lower limb, such that the big toe points inwards.
Rotation – this is where the limb moves in a circular movement around a fixed joint towards or away from the midline of the body. This occurs in the hip in golf while performing a drive shot.
