A

adductor longus, brevis, and magnus; pectineus and gracilis muscles

27
Q

What muscles are responsible for hip medial rotation?

28
Q

What muscles are responsible for hip lateral rotation?

A

obturator internus, obturator externus, gemelli, quadratus femoris, piriformis, gluteus maximus, and sartorius muscles
