Unlocks the Knee by doing medial rotation. When we go into full extension the tibia rotates laterally which locks it (Screw Home Mechanism). Poplitius unlocks it by medially rotating.

Medial Rotation
Piriformis is running from the _______________ surface of the _______________ aspect of the sacrum, to the _______________________________.
-anterior
-lateral
-posteromedial greater trochanter
When Standing in anatomical position Piriformis does what movement?
Lateral Rotation
What are actions for Piriformis?
When flexing hip you are taking lateral attachment further away which changes the line of pull. What will draw the Trochanter closer to the Sacrum is when you flex the hip it’s a closer pathway to Abduct than it is to externally rotate because of where it is attached on the Greater Trochanter. When you get beyond a certain range such as 60deg its actually shorter pathway to internally rotate to draw the 2 attachments closer
