Adductors and TFL/ITB Flashcards
Adductor Magnus: Origin
Inferior ramus of the pubis, ramus of ischium, and ischial tuberosity
Adductor Magnus: Insertion?
Medial lip of linea aspera and adductor tubercle
Adductor Magnus: Nerve?
Obturator nerve L2 - S1
Adductor Magnus: Bony Landmarks & Ligaments?
Pubis, ischium, linea aspera, adductor tubercle
Adductor Magnus: Functional Movement?
