(222 cards)
What are the muscles that act on hip joint/ thigh?
Are on the anterior side…
- Psoas major
- Iliacus
- Psoas minor
(Iliopsoas = Psoas major + Iliacus)
What is the action of the psoas major?
- Flexes the thigh
- Ipsilateral laterally bends the vertebral column
What is the innervation of the psoas major?
L1 - L3
What is the origin of the psoas major?
Lumbar vertebrae
What is the insertion of the psoas major?
Lesser trochanter of the femur
What is the action of the iliacus?
- Flexes the thigh
What is the innervation of the iliacus?
Femoral nerve
What is the origin of the iliacus
Iliac fossa (inner part of ilium - –> area on top of pelvic bone)
What is the insertion of the Iliacus?
Lesser trochanter of the femur
What is the action of the psoas minor?
- Aids in flexing the trunk
What is the innervation of the psoas minor?
L2-L3
What is the origin of the psoas minor?
T12-L1
What is the insertion of the psoas minor
Pectineal line of the pubis (top of pubis bone)
What are the posterior muscles of the gluteal region muscles?
- Gluteus maximus
- Gluteus medius (laterally than maximus)
- Gluteus minimus (inferior to medius)
What are the actions of the gluteus Maximus?
- Extends the thigh (especially when the thigh is in flexed position, agonist)
- Laterally rotate the thigh
- Abducts the thigh
What is the innervation of the gluteus maximus?
- Inferior gluteal (L5-S2)
What is the origin of the gluteus maximus?
- Dorsal ilium
- Sacrum
- Coccyx
What is the insertion of the gluteus maximus?
- Gluteal tuberosity of femur
- Iliotibial tract
What are the actions of the gluteus medius?
- Abducts the thigh
- Medially rotates the thigh
- Stabilizes the pelvis when walking
What is the innervation of the gluteus medius?
Superior gluteal (L4 - S1)
What is the origin of the gluteus medius?
Lateral surface of the ilium
What is the insertion of the gluteus medius?
Greater trochanter of femur
What are the actions of the gluteus minimus?
- Abducts the thigh
- Medially rotates the thigh
- Stabilizes the pelvis while walking
What is the innervation of the gluteal minimus?
Superior gluteal (L4-S1)
