Another common problem at the hip is
weak hip abductors and external rotators.
Not exact matches
The takeaway is that if the
hip abductors — the muscles that move the lower leg sideways away from the body, and the
hip flexors — the muscles that move the lower leg in toward the body — are
weak, the knee doesn't track as well as it should.
Weak hip adductors (see reviews by Hrysomallis, 2009; Ryan et al. 2014; studies by Crow et al. 2010; Nevin and Delahunt, 2014) or weak hip adductors relative to the hip abductors (Thorborg et al. 2011) have been identified as predictive of adductor - related groin pain or increased risk of adductor - related groin strain inj

So kind of a more simplistic terms this would mean that you have a
weak butt and you would want to actually strengthen your
hip abductors like the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus and you would actually also wan na strengthen your femurs» external rotators.
For example, if I'm looking at someone from the back and they're running and I'm seeing that the
hip is excessively tilting from side to side meaning at mid-stance your
hip just kinda collapses and drops toward one side when you're running and that's accompanied by something like a heel whip, that's a pretty good sign that it's an external rotator or that it's an
abductor weakness issue vs. it being genetic because it actually shows that you have
weak hips whereas if I see that foot kinda rotating out a little bit but the
hips are staying relatively level while you're running, then usually it's just the case where you have that genetic kinda femoral anteversion and it's not really an issue.
