hip rotation
Swiveling the pelvis
Hip rotation is the turning movement of the thigh bone within the hip socket, either inward or outward.
In sports and physical training, hip rotation generates power for throwing, swinging, and kicking: Good hip rotation is essential for a powerful golf swing.
Physical therapists assess hip rotation to diagnose mobility issues or imbalances.
