hip flexors
iliacus psoas major, minor sartorius gracilis adductor longus/brevis pectineus rectus femoris
medial hip extensors
semitendinosus
semimembranosus
gracilic
sartorius
lateral hip extensors
biceps femoris
glut max
adductor magnus
what muscles insert on tuberosity of the ischium?
biceps femoris
semimembranosus
semitendinosus
glut max
hip extensor
adductor longus
gracilis and pectineus
medial adductors
adductor longus, brevis, adductor magnus
pectinius
gracilis
adductor groups attach to
all attach to the pubic ramus and the mediar and/or posterior femur
function of all is ADduction
ABductors
gluteus medius
gluteus minimus
tensor fascia lata
glut medius
attaches to ilium and lesser trochanter
glut min
attaches to ilium and lesser trochanter
external rotators
piriformis obturator internus obturator externus gemellus superior gemellus inferior quadratus femoris
muscle that causes sciatica in 10-12% of the population
periformis, sciatic nerve pierces periformis
periformis as abductor and rotator
abduct when hips is flexed
but
external rotators when hip is extended
the ONLY rotator to connect directly to sacrum
Anterior Innominate rotation: position of the ASIS and the PSIS
ASIS rotates inferiorly and PSIS rotates superiorly
Superior Innominate shear
ASIS goes superior, PSIS goes superior
“inflare”
ASIS is pushed more medially
“outflare”
ASIS is pushed more laterally
Pubic shear
r or l pubis goes up, the other goes down.
the “major hip flexors”
iliopsoas
the “lesser” hip flexors
sartorius and rectus femoris
Innominate testing: static anterior landmark assessment
Anteriorly: greater trochanters, pubic symphysis, iliac crest, ASIS
Posteriorly: PSIS
Internal/external leg roll
medial malleolus
Innominate testing: dynamic testing
AP compression
lateral to medial compression
flexion testing (standing and seated)
a patient with a positive standing flexion sign and a positive seated flexion sign indicates a problem with the
sacrum
