Outer Heel Hook

Outer Heel Hook is the alternate name for the outside heel hook — using “outer” rather than “outside” as the direction descriptor.

Etymology. “Outer” and “outside” are interchangeable descriptors for the heel-rotation direction; the choice is editorial preference. The compound predominates in some regional instructional vocabularies.

Mechanics. The outward heel rotation loads the knee against the lateral structures past safe range — the ligaments load rapidly under the rotational force.

Cross-reference. “Outside Hook” is the shortened-form alternate. Full mechanical coverage on Outside Heel Hook.
