Which nerves and associated muscles extend the hip?
The sciatic nerve extends the hip through biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus.
Which nerves and associated muscles flex the hip?
The cranial gluteal nerve flexes the hip through tensor fascia latae.

The obturator nerve adducts the limb through gracilis, pectineus and adductor.
Which nerves and associated muscles abduct the limb?
The cranial gluteal nerve abducts the limb though the middle and deep gluteals.
The caudal gluteal nerve abducts the limb through the superficial gluteal.
Which nerves and associated muscles rotate the pelvic limb laterally?
The obturator nerve rotates the pelvic limb laterally through external obturator.
The femoral nerve rotates the pelvic limb laterall through quadriceps femoris.
