Final Flashcards
what are the lateral rotators of pelvis?
obdurate interns, obdurate externus, and piriformis,
What are the pelvic diaphragm muscles?
They are the levator ani –> reinforces the anal and vaginal sphincter.
Coggygeus–> pulls coccyx forward/anterior. Also there is also interaction with the pelvic floor
What is pelvic floor importance?
Is important for respiratory and circulatory movements. with the respiratory movements. Ascends with exhalation and descends with inhalation.
Hip Flexion
Psoas, Iliacus
Hip Extensors
Gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and gluteus maximus
Biceps Femoris –> laterally rotates the thigh at the hip
Semimembranosus, Semitendinosus: medially rotates hip at the thigh
What are the deep 6 hip lateral rotators?
They are the piriformis, gamelllus superior, obturator internus, gamellus inferior, Quadratus femoris, and gluteus muscles (medius and minimus)
What are the iliotibial band muscles?
They are the gluteus maximus, and tensor fascia latae (stabilizes knee extension)
What are the hip flexors?
Sartorius, Iliacus, psoas major
what are the knee extensors?
Vastus medialus, intermedius, and lateralis
Rectus femoris
What are the adductors?
Gracilis: knee flexion
pectineus: hip flexion
Adductor longus, adductor brevis, and adductor Magnus ( medial thigh rotation)
Ilio-lumbar ligament:
L5- ilia
Stabilize anterior motion of L5, limits rotation
Sacro-tuberous ligament:
Lower sacrum to ischial tuberosities
prevents anterior rotation around the axis
Sacrospinous ligament:
Ischial tuberosity to the ischial spine
Prevent anterior rotation around the axis
Inguinal ligament:
ASIS to pubic tubercles
