65
Q

what is the femoral nerve responsible for?

A

motor- knee extension and thigh flexion

sensory- anterior and medial aspect of the thigh and lower leg

66
Q

what is the obturator nerve responsible for?

A

motor- thigh adduction

sensory- medial thigh

67
Q

what is the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh responsible for?

A

motor- none

sensory- lateral and posterior surfaces of the thigh

68
Q

what is the tibial nerve responsible for?

A

motor- foot plantar flexion and inversion

sensory- sole of foot

69
Q

what is the common peroneal nerve responsible for?

A

motor=- foot dorsiflexion and eversion

-extensor hallucis longus

sensory= dorsal of the foot and the lower lateral part of the leg

70
Q

what is the superior gluteal nerve responsible for?

A

motor= hip abduction

sensory= none

71
Q

what is the inferior gluteal nerve responsible for?

A

motor= hip extension and lateral rotation

sensory= none

72

  • can’t jump or climb stairs
74
Q

what is the role of the gluteus maximus?

A
  • it is the main extensor of the thigh
  • assists with lateral rotation
  • however, it is only used when force is required such as running or climbing
75
Q

what is the role of the gluteus medius?

A
  • same as gluteus minimus!
  • abducts and medially rotates the lower limb
  • during locomotion, it secures the pelvis, preventing pelvis drop of the opposite limb
76
Q

role of the gluteus minimus?

A
  • same as gluteus medius!
  • abducts and medially rotates the lower limb
  • during locomotion, it secures the pelvis preventing pelvis drop of the opposite limb
77
Q

what is the role of the tensor fascia lata?

A
  • assists the gluteus medius and minimus in the abduction and medial rotation of the lower limb
  • it also plays a supportive role in the gait
