Knee internal rotation is a specific rotational movement of the lower leg relative to the thigh.
To perform knee internal rotation, the movement involves turning the lower leg inward. Based on descriptions of this action:
Steps for Knee Internal Rotation
- As the toes go in and the heel goes out, this is the motion considered knee internal rotation.
- It is important that this rotation occurs exclusively through the tibia (the larger bone of the lower leg) to isolate the movement specifically at the knee joint.
- To help ensure the rotation is primarily at the knee and driven by the tibia, make sure the foot stays flat on the floor throughout the movement.
Focusing the movement from the lower leg below the knee, while keeping the foot planted, allows for targeted internal rotation at the knee joint itself.
