The importance of hip internal rotation. Hip joint internal rotation (sometimes also called medial rotation) occurs when the femur rotates within the hip joint, toward the mid-line of the body. It also occurs in standing when the lower limb is fixed and the pelvis rotates â so the left side ASIS moves in front of the right side, for example, or vice versa on the other side.
Gastrocnemius. The gastrocnemius muscle is a muscle located on the back portion of the lower leg, being one of the two major muscles that make up the calf. The other major calf muscle, the soleus muscle, is a flat muscle that lies underneath the gastrocnemius.he flexing of this muscle during walking and bending of the knee creates traction on the femur, pulling it toward the tibia in the lower leg and causing the knee to bend. Both the gastrocnemius muscle and the soleus join onto the Achilles tendon, which is the strongest and thickest tendon in the human body.
