There are no prime Internal Rotators. However, there are several secondary movers including the anterior fibers of the gluteus medius and minimus, the adductor longus and brevis, the pectineus, the medial hamstrings (semitendonosus and semimembranosus) and the tensor fascia latae.

The major external rotators of the hip are the piriformis, quadratus femoris, internal & external obturators, and superior & inferior gemellus.

Actually the muscles that move the hip into lateral or external rotation are as follows:

1. Glut max

2. Glut med (posterior fibers)

3. Piriformis

4. Obturator internus and gemelli

5. Quadratus femoris

6. Obturator externus

7. Sartorius

8. Iliopsoas

9. Long head of biceps femoris

If the medial hip rotators are tight what action will they impede?

If medial hip rotators are tight, then they will impede lateral hip rotation because lateral hip rotation requires the medial hip rotators to stretch to allow the lateral hip rotators to contract and rotate the hip laterally.
