Iliopsoas
Origin: T12-L5, sacrum, inner surface of the ilium
Insertion: lesser trochanter
Action: Hip flexion, hip external rotation
Sartorius
Origin: Anterior superior Iliac spine
Insertion: pes anserine
Action: hip flexion, hip external rotation
Gracilis
Origin: Anterior ramus of pubis
Insertion: pen anserine
Action: hip adduction
Gluteus Maximus
Origin: Posterior ilium, posterior sacrum
Insertion: greater trochanter
Action: hip extension, hip external rotation
Gluteus Medius
Origin: Lateral ilium
Insertion: greater trochanter
Action: hip abduction
Gluteus Minimus
Origin: lateral ilium
Insertion: greater trochanter
Action: hip abduction
Piriformis
Action: hip external rotation
Whats the name of the hip joint?
Acetabular femoral
What type of joint is the Acetabular femoral joint?
Enarthrodial joint; Most stable
What are the characteristics of the Acetabular femoral joint?
Bony architecture, strong ligaments, strong muscle
What does the sacrum attach?
The left and right pelvic bone posteriorly
Where is the left and right pelvis attach anteriorly?
By the synapsis pubis
What is synapsis pubis?
fibrocartilage
How many planes/axises is the Acetabular femoral joint in?
Multiaxial
What are the 3 ligaments in the Acetabular Femoral Joint?
Iliofemoral Ligament, Pubofemoral ligament, Ischiofemoral ligament
What does the Iliofemoral ligament do?
Prevents hyperextension; attaches ilium and femur
What does the pubofemoral ligament do?
attaches pubis and femur; limits excessive extension and abduction
What does the Ischiofemoral ligament do?
attaches ischium to femur; limits internal rotation
Sacrum
extension of spinal column with 5 fused vertebrae
Pelvic Bone
divided into 3 areas
What are the 3 areas of the pelvic bone?
- Upper part = Ilium
- Lower anterior = pubis
- lower posterior = ischium
Hip flexion
130 degrees
