Gluteal and Posterior femoral regions Flashcards
What are the prime movements from mm in gluteal region
ABduction and lateral rotation. As synergists they assist in extension and flexion
How many layers are in the posterior femoral compartment
one
What are the general functions of mm in the posterior femoral compartment
extend thigh and flex leg
origin and insertion of gluteus maximus
origin: between posterior crest of ilium and posterior gluteal line and sacrotuberous ligament
insertion: gluteal tuberosity of femur and IT tract
action of gluteus maximus
extension, lateral rotation
when working with IT band it helps to stabilize the knee
what inn gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal n
origin and insertion of gluteus medius
origin: ilium between posterior and anterior gluteal lines
insertion: greater trochanter of femur
what is the action of gluteus medius
ABduct thigh
posterior fibers w/maximus laterally rotate thigh
anterior fibers w/minimus medially rotate thigh
When the L limb is unsupported what m levels the sacral base
R gluteus medius with help from minimus
what inn gluteus medius
superior gluteal n
origin and insertion of gluteus minimus
origin: ilium between anterior and inferior gluteal lines.
insertion: greater trochanter of femur- anterior side
what is the action of gluteus minimus
Abduction and medial rotate of thigh
what inn gluteus minimus
superior gluteal n
origin and insertion of tensor fascia latae
origin: anterior outer portion of iliac crest next to ASIS
insertion: IT tract to lateral tibial condyle
what is the action of tensor fascia latae
ABducts, flexes and medially rotates thigh
can maintain knee in extended position
what inn tensor fascia latae
superior gluteal n
What mm are in the deep gluteal region
piriformis, gemellus superior, obturator internus, gemellus inferior, quadratus femoris
origin and insertion piriformis
origin: anterior surface of sacrum, lateral to anterior sacral foramina
insertion: greater trochanter of femur
action of piriformis
ABduction of thigh, lateral rotation of thigh
what inn piriformis
n to piriformis
origin and insertion of gemellus superior
origin: ischial spine
insertion: tendon of obturator internus
action of gemellus superior
lateral rotation of thigh
what inn gemellus superior
n to obturator internus
origin and insertion of obturator internus
origin: internal surface of the obturator membrane and margins of the obturator foramen
insertion: greater trochanter
action of obturator internus
lateral rotation and some abduction of thigh
what inn obturator internus
n to obturator internus
origin and insertion of gemellus inferior
origin: ischial tuberosity near margin of lesser sciatic notch
insertion: tendon of obturator internus
action of gemellus inferior
lateral rotation of thigh
