That last animation of hip rotator muscles activated during walking blew my mind

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!

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 walking illustration at the end is just brilliant. Simple, yet managed to blow my mind. You, sir, you have a gift.

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.

The most noted anatomists on youtube by far

i wish i would have discovered ur channel years ago when i was studying for my Anatomy exam

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 🙂

I can’t described u by words just i want tell u how lucky I am by seen your amazing videos From Iraq ♥️

Junior surgical trainee here, these videos are amazing! Thank you!

World best anatomist ever !! Loving so much your explanation ! Thank you and keep going !

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

Thank you. So chrystal clear. Mmmh i will now pay attention to both hips when walking..

The superior view of the gait cycle is genius to understand hip IR and ER during walking. Well done!

the best noted anatomist I have ever seen! Amazing. thank you Dr. Morton;

Watching almost all of your videos man. Thank you

Thank you, great explanation and visualization!!!!

Subbed. The focus and density of this video is phenomenal.

Where have you been all my life!!! Thank you ! This is awesome.

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

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.

I just started learning about hip muscles today, what great timing!

This is what I call simplicity!!! Excellent! Excellent!

Really happy to find your channel, excellent content and crystal clear explained. Thank you.

Can't thank you enough Dr. Morton. Superb Video. Helped me a ton

Thank you so much for these videos, they are extremely helpful and make anatomy really fun and interesting to learn!

Great explainers such as yourself are creating new generations of professionals.

This helped me a ton, thank you!

Beautifully explained- thank you

Your models have got great muscles. I figured working out under your supervision is how to achieve those great muscles.

Thank you for your time and effort... Extremely instructional explanation

Absolutely incredible breakdown. Thank you

Woow, I love your explanations and illustrations. Great Job.Thanks

Thank you... you are the BEST!!!

So helpful and very clear. Thank you

Zingggg!!! I super love that effect zingggg!!! Thank you zingggg!!! 🙏🏻❤️

Amazing, amazing, amazing videos. Thank you!

Amazing explanation ❤Thank u so much

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!!!

Excellent. Well explained, thank you.

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.

Amazing teaching thank you for your effort😍😍😍

Bravo! Excellent!

Thank you for the amazing video❤❤

You're my favorite professor i have no doubt 🙏🙏 thank you for all these courses

So digestible for a layman like myself. Crucial to know what’s going on with my hips, and this has helped immensely.

Excellent work

Amiazing can't wait to see the next video, that was my first from your channel.

You are the best anatomist! I'm teaching my students dissections and always recommend your videos! Every year :)

Great video and I love the closer to fine at the end too

Man this is really high high quality explanation thank you

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

Awesome guru. 🙏

so helpful thank you very much

Oh my God!!!! Dr.Morton....finding your channel is the best thing that happened to me during the past five months.... Thank you...

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.

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.

youre my hero

Thank you so much for including the gait. Hope you also do tensegrity structures.

Wow.. perfect! now it's sorted🏋‍♂

I love your sound effects lol shinggg!

Thank you 🙏🏻 🤍

amazing 🌸🌸

watched without sound. still perfect

thank you master !

God bless you

Thank you for the help 🧸

It si just amazing Thank you very much❤

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

Thank you!!

Wonderful ❣️

Thank you sir 🎉

Thank you❤️❤️❤️

God bless u thank u!

Brilliant

Thanks!

Oooohh oooohhh thanks Doc

Great 👍🏼🥰

awesome

Fantastic

Thank you sir❤

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!

You single handedly got me through my second year of medical school. I salute you sir

Sounds suspiciously like the guy from Khan academy. Also amazing video!

Fabulous

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?

thx❤❤

Nice

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

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?

anothetr gem, even not a medi stud as I really enjoyed.

OK so this "SHIIIINNNN" has really gotten into my head...

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?

SHIIING!

What are the best stretches & exercises for the gemellus superior and inferior?

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?

Hi, great video!!! Is there a video that explains what muscles help internal rotation of the hip?
