MUSCLES OF THE GLUTEAL REGION THAT MOVE THE FEMUR
Iliopsoas & Psoas major * ORIGIN: Transverse processes and bodies of lumbar vertebrae. * INSERTION: With iliacus into lesser trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Psoas major and iliacus muscles acting together flex thigh at hip joint, rotate thigh laterally, and flex trunk on hip as in sitting up from supine position. * INNERVATION: Lumbar spinal nerves L2–L3.
Iliacus
* ORIGIN: Iliac fossa and sacrum. * INSERTION: With psoas major into lesser trochanter of femur. * INNERVATION: Femoral nerve.
Gluteus maximus * ORIGIN: Iliac crest, sacrum, coccyx, and aponeurosis of sacrospinalis. * INSERTION: Iliotibial tract of fascia lata and superior lateral part of linea aspera under greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Extends thigh at hip joint and laterally rotates thigh; helps lock knee in extension. RMA: Extends torso. * INNERVATION: Inferior gluteal nerve.
Gluteus medius * ORIGIN: Ilium. * INSERTION: Greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Abducts thigh at hip joint and medially rotates thigh. * INNERVATION: Superior gluteal nerve.
Gluteus minimus * ORIGIN: Ilium. * INSERTION: Greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Abducts thigh at hip joint and medially rotates thigh. * INNERVATION: Superior gluteal nerve.
Tensor fasciae latae * ORIGIN: Iliac crest. * INSERTION: Tibia by way of iliotibial tract. * ACTION: Flexes and abducts thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Superior gluteal nerve.
Piriformis
* ORIGIN: Anterior sacrum. * INSERTION: Superior border of greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Laterally rotates and abducts thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Sacral spinal nerves S1 or S2, mainly S1.
Obturator internus * ORIGIN: Inner surface of obturator foramen, pubis, and ischium. * INSERTION: Medial surface of greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Laterally rotates and abducts thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Nerve to obturator internus.
Obturator externus * ORIGIN: Outer surface of obturator membrane. * INSERTION: Deep depression inferior to greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Laterally rotates and abducts thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Obturator nerve.
Superior gemellus * ORIGIN: Ischial spine. * INSERTION: Medial surface of greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Laterally rotates and abducts thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Nerve to obturator internus.
Inferior gemellus * ORIGIN: Ischial tuberosity. * INSERTION: Medial surface of greater trochanter of femur. * ACTION: Laterally rotates and abducts thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Nerve to quadratus femoris.
Quadratus femoris * ORIGIN: Ischial tuberosity. * INSERTION: Elevation superior to mid-portion of intertrochanteric crest on posterior femur. * ACTION:Laterally rotates and stabilizes hip joint. * INNERVATION: Nerve to quadratus femoris.
Adductor longus * ORIGIN: Pubic crest and pubic symphysis. * INSERTION: Linea aspera of femur. * ACTION: Adducts and flexes thigh at hip joint and rotates thigh. RMA: Extends thigh. * INNERVATION: Obturator nerve.
Adductor brevis * ORIGIN: Inferior ramus of pubis. * INSERTION: Superior half of linea aspera of femur. * ACTION: Adducts and flexes thigh at hip joint and rotates thigh. RMA: Extends thigh. * INNERVATION: Obturator nerve.
Adductor magnus * ORIGIN: Inferior ramus of pubis and ischium to ischial tuberosity. * INSERTION: Linea aspera of femur. * ACTION: Adducts thigh at hip joint and rotates thigh; anterior part flexes thigh at hip joint, and posterior part extends thigh at hip joint. * INNERVATION: Obturator and sciatic nerves.
Pectineus
* ORIGIN: Superior ramus of pubis. * INSERTION: Pectineal line of femur,

in the lower hip near the top of the hip joint. This muscle is important in lower body movement because it stabilizes the hip joint and lifts, rotates the thigh away from the body which helps us and enables us to walk, shift our weight from one foot to another and maintain body balance. It is also used in sports that involve lifting and rotating of thighs, in short, in almost every motion of the hips and legs. The sciatic nerve is a thick and long nerve in the body. It passes alongside or goes through…

when in a plie is very difficult as you must not be over the ankle or to far back from the ankle but stacked on top of the ankle and the foot. The knee is designed to provide both stability and mobility and relies on the correct placement of the pelvis for stability. When in a plie our knee is in flexion. Flexion is the decreased angle between the two levers, in this case the two levers being the hamstring and gastrocnemius. Flexion of the knee is initiated by the plantaris muscle. The plantaris…

join forming a ball and socket joint. A rim of cartilage lines the socket and aids the firm grip on the femur. Articulating Bones: Rounded head of the femur and the Cup-like acetabulum of the pelvis. These form the primary connection between the bones of the lower limb and the axial skeleton and pelvis. Both are covered with articular hyaline cartilage. Muscles on the joint: Muscles of the hip joint work together to provide the hip movement in all directions, as well as stabilising the entire…

in the gait cycle, such that knee hyperextension may be observed. The hyperextension of the knee puts stress on the structure of the joint at the point of heel contact, and increase knee flexor torque due to hamstrings work actively to extend the thigh at the same time. In normal gait swing phase, the raised leg is propelled forward. The forward motion of walk occurs.According to Stephen Kishner, the acceleration is begins once the toe of the reference extremity leaves the ground and continues until…
