What muscle is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve?
Gluteus Maximus
What are the three bony points of origin, two ligamental points of origin and two points of insertion for the Gluteus Maximus?
Origin points: • Posterior surface of the ilium • Posterior surface of the sacrum • Coccyx • Dorsal sacroiliac ligament • Sacrotuberous ligament
Insertion points:
• Iliotibial Tract
• Gluteal Tuberosity
What direction do the fibers of the gluteus maximus run?
Lateral and inferior
What are the two main functions of the gluteus maximus?
- Extension of the thigh at the hip joint
* Lateral rotation of the thigh
What additional function can the upper fibers of gluteus maximus carry out?
Thigh abduction
When working with tensor fascia lata the gluteus maximus can assist with ____ .
Knee stabilization
Where is the adductor tubercle located?
On the medial epicondyle of the femur
What muscle inserts onto the adductor tubercle which also inserts onto the gluteal tuberosity and linea aspera?
Adductor magnus
Where is adductor magnus located in respect to pectineus, adductor longus and adductor brevis?
Adductor magnus is deep (to all three).
What are the three points of origin for adductor magnus?
Origin
• Inferior pubic ramus
• Ramus of the Ischium
• Ischial tuberosity [hamstring part]
What are the functions of adductor magnus? *Remember* • The whole muscle has one main function • The upper part has two functions • The lower part has one function
- Whole muscle adducts
- Upper part assists in flexion and medial rotation of the thigh
- Lower part extends the thigh [the hamstring part of adductor magnus]
What innervates adductor magnus?
The sciatic nerve
After a lesion of C5 and C6 that form the upper trunk, which of the following muscles would be weakened or paralyzed due to damage? A. Supraspinatus B. Deltoid C. Teres minor D. a, b, and c E. a and b
D. a, b and c
• supraspinatus (from suprascapular nerve)
• deltoid and teres minor (from axillary nerve)
Most of the muscles that originate from the pubic bone of the hip bone are the muscles in the ____ compartment of the thigh?
Medial
If the gluteus medius and minimus muscles are paralyzed on one side of the pelvis due to injury to the _______ then the pelvis will drop or sag to the _______ when standing on the lower extremity that is affected.
- Superior gluteal nerve
- opposite side
(when walking, this problem is called the Trendelenburg/gluteus medius gate)
What muscle lies mostly anterior to gluteus maximus, and posterior to tensor fascia lata?
Gluteus medius
What are the two points of origin and (1) insertion point of the gluteus medius?
Origin • Upper lateral surface of the illium • gluteal aponeurosis (which overlies the muscle) Insertion • greater trochanter of the femur
What are the two main functions of gluteus medius?
- Strong abduction of the thigh
* medial rotation of the thigh
What ligament closes the gap, to complete the rim of the acetabulum at the acetabular notch on the inferior side?
Transverse acetabular ligament
The acetabular ligament bridges the acetabular notch to give attachment to the ___________.
Ligamentum capitis femoris
What are the two main parts of the acetabulum?
- Semilunar [lunate] articular portion covered with hyaline cartilage
- Deep central fossa that is filled with the fat pad
When weight-bearing on the lower extremity, there is a small degree of rotation that takes place at the knee joint when moving from full extension into the first few degrees of flexion. This knee rotation occurs as a result of popliteus contracting to rotate the ________bone in the _______ direction.
- Femur
* Lateral
Your patient has been referred to your clinic for evaluation and treatment following a bicycle accident. She complains of difficulty raising her left arm above her head in both the coronal and median planes. In completing your assessment, you observed that along with the difficulty in moving her arm, she has atrophy of the deltoid muscle and loss of sensation of the lateral aspect of her shoulder. You suspect that she has injured her ___________.
Axillary nerve
Another patient is referred to you with sensory loss on the medial side of the hand and weakness of extrinsic hand muscles, you decide she has a condition often referred to as Cyclist’s Palsy, which is caused by compression of what nerve?
Ulnar nerve
