Gluteal Region And Hip Flashcards
Gluteus Maximus origin
- Sacrotuberous ligament
- dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx
- ilium posterior to posterior gluteal line
Gluteus Maximus insertion
Iliotibial band and gluteal tuberosity
Gluteus Maximus innervation and action
- inferior gluteal nerve
- extends hip joint between flexed and standing position
- assists with lateral rotation
Gluteus medius insertion
Lateral surface of greater trochanter of femur
Gluteus medius origin
External surface of the ilium between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
Gluteus medius innervation and action
-superior gluteal nerve
- abduct hip joint
- keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
Gluteus minimus insertion
Anterior surface of greater trochanter of the femur
Gluteus minimus origin
External surface of the ilium between the anterior and inferior gluteal lines
Gluteus minimus innervation and action
-superior gluteal nerve
- abduct hip joint
- keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
Tensor fasciae latae origin
Anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
Tensor fasciae latae insertion
Iliotibial tract
Tensor fasciae latae innervation and action
-superior gluteal nerve
- abduct hip joint
- keep pelvis level when opposite limb is elevated
Piriformis origin
Superior greater sciatic notch
Sacrotuberous ligament
Piriformis insertion
Superior border of greater trochanter of femur
Pisiformis innervation and action
- anterior rami of s1 and s2
- laterally rotate extended hip joint
- abduct flexed hip joint
- stabilizes hip joint
Obturator internus origin
- Pelvic surface of ilium and ischium
- Obturator membrane
Obturator internus insertion
Medial surface if the greater trochanter of femur
Obturator internus innervation and action
-nerve to obturator internus
- laterally rotate extended hip joint
- abduct flexed hip joint
- stabilizes hip joint
Superior and inferior gemelli innervation and action
Superior: nerve to obturator internus
Inferior: nerve to Quadratus femoris
- laterally rotate extended hip joint
- abduct flexed hip joint
- stabilizes hip joint
Superior and inferior gemelli insertion
Both: medial surface of the greater trochanter of the femur
Superior and inferior gemelli origin
Superior: Ischial spine
Inferior : Ischial tuberosity
Quadratus femoris origin
Lateral border of Ischial tuberosity
Quadratus femoris insertion
Quadrate tubercle on intertrochanteric crest of femur (posterior side)
Quadratus femoris innervation and action
- nerve to Quadratus femoris
- laterally rotates hip
- pulls femoral head into acetabulum to help stabilize hip joint
Psoas major insertion
Lesser trochanter of the femur
Psoas major origin
Transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae
Psoas major innervation and action
anterior rami of lumbar nerves (L1. L2 L3)
Flexes thigh, flexes vertebral column
