Mrs. Cicoria is mad at Mr. Cicoria. Her posture is as follows: She is standing with her left foot pointed forward, her right foot is pointed out the side, her hands are on her hips, and she is tapping her right foot up and down off the floor. Which answer best describes the action of her right HIP joint?
-
Flexion
-
External Rotation
-
Extension
-
Internal Rotation
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The action of her right HIP joint can be best described as external rotation. External rotation refers to the movement of a body part away from the midline or center of the body. In this case, the right foot pointed out to the side indicates that the hip joint is externally rotated.
