Gluteus medius
O: outer surface of ilium
I: anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur
N: superior gluteal nerve
A: abducts thigh at hip joint; tilts pelvis when walking to permit opposite leg to clear ground
Gluteus Minimus
O: Iliac crest
I: Iliotibial tract
N: superior gluteal nerve
A: assists gluteal maximus in extending the knee joint

A: lateral rotator of thigh at hip joint
Obturator Internus
O: spine of ischium
I: upper border of greater trochanter of femur
N: sacral plexus
A: lateral rotator of thigh at hip joint
Gemellus Superior
O: ischial tuberosity
I: upper border of greater trochanter of femur
N: sacral plexus
A: lateral rotator of thigh at hip joint
