What is the insertion of gluteus maximus?
Lateral condyle of tibia, gluteal tuberosity of femur
What is the origin of gluteus maximus?
Illium posterior to posterior gluteal line; dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx; sacrotuberous ligament
What is the innervation for gluteus maximus?
Inferior gluteal nerve (L5, S1, S2)
What is the action for gluteus maximus?
extends hip joint between flexed and standing positions and assists in its lateral rotation; steadies thigh and assists in rising from sitting position
What is the origin of gluteus medius?
external surface of ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
What is the insertion of gluteus medius?
lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur
What is the innervation of gluteus medius?
Superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
What is the action of gluteus medius?
Abduct and anterior portions medially rotate hip joint, keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
What is the origin of gluteus minimus?
external surface of ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
What is the insertion of gluteus minimus?
anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur
What is the innervation of gluteus minimus?
Superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
What is the action of gluteus minimus?
abduct and anterior portions medially rotate hip joint; keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
What is the origin of tensor fasciae latae?
anterior superior iliac spine; anterior iliac crest
What is the insertion of tensor fasciae latae?
lateral condyle of tibia
What is the innervation of tensor fasciae latae?
Superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
What is the action of tensor fasciae latae?
flexes hip joint; acts with gluteus maximus to stabilize the extended knee joint
What is the innervation for gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae?
superior gluteal nerve (L4, L5, S1)
What is the origin of piriformis?
anterior surface of 2nd-4th sacral segments; superior margin of greater sciatic notch and sacrotuberous ligament
What is the insertion of piriformis?
superior border of greater trochanter of femur
What is the innervation of piriformis?
branches of anterior rami of S1, S2
What is the action for piriformis?
laterally rotate extended hip joint; abduct flexed hip joint; steady femoral head in acetabulum (stabilizes hip joint)
What is the origin of obturtor infernus?
pelvic surface of ilium and ischium; obturator membrane
What is the insertion of obturator internus?
medial surface of greater trochanter (trochanteric fossa) of femur
What is the innervation of obturator internus?
nerve to obturator internus L5, S1
