| Hip TightnessDifficulty internally or externally rotating hips Muscle Groups Involved:
 Hip Abductors: Tensor Facsia Latae, Gluteus Minimus, Glutues Medius
 Hip External Rotators: Glutues Maximus, Piriformis,
 External rotators of the hip control deceleration of internal rotation of the femur during the heel strike of the gait cycle.
 Muscle Imbalances:
 Tight: low back, hamstrings, illiotibial band, hip flexors, adductors, piriformis, psoas
 Weak: Gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus
 Possible Indicators:
 - Difficulty internally or externally rotating hips during step ups
 - Forward leaning posture
 - Increased forward lean when squatting, heels coming off ground
 - Tightness in hamstrings, low back, hip flexors, etc
 - Rotational movement of the knee when performing a single leg mini-squat (20 degrees)
 - Shifting of trunk when performing a single leg mini-squat (20 degrees)
 - Knees caving in when squatting
 - Foot (lead leg) turning in when performing forward reaches
 - Trail leg caving in (moving towards mid-line) when performing forward reaches
 - Instability when performing forward reaches or lunges
 - Instability when performing step up’s to single leg stabilization
 - Foot turning inward during gait cycle
 - Flat foot or lack of arch showing abnormal wear on shoes or calluses on feet
