hip flexion

Question 1

what are the muscles responsible for hip flexion

Answer 1

iliopsoas
sartorius
tensor fascia latae 
rectus femoris
adductor longus
pectineus

Question 2

Insertion of iliopsoas

Answer 2

iliacus and psoas major - insert onto lesser trochanter at the top of the femur.

Both tendons fuse together.

Question 3

function of iliopsoas

Answer 3

When the trunk is stabilized (Lateral rotation of the hip)

When legs are stabilized (flexion of the hip)

Question 4

Origin of iliacus

Answer 4

Iliac fossa of the ilium (inner surface of ilium)

Question 5

Insertion of iliacus

Answer 5

Onto lesser trochanter at the top of the femur

Question 6

Function of iliacus

Answer 6

Flexion of the hip

Question 7

Origin of psoas major

Answer 7

The anterior surface of the transverse process of vertebrae (T12-L5).
(sides of the thoracic and 5 lumbar spine)

Question 8

Insertion of Psoas

Answer 8

Onto lesser trochanter at top of the femur

Question 9

Function of Psoas

Answer 9

Flexion at the hip or Lumbar invertrabral joints

Question 10

Origin of sartorius

Answer 10

Anterior superior iliac spine

Question 11

Insertion of sartorius

Answer 11

Medial surface of the tibia, near tibial tuberosity

Question 12

Function of sartorius

Answer 12

Hip of flexion

Assist in lateral rotation

Question 13

Origin of Tensor Fascia latae

Answer 13

Iliac crest

The lateral surface of the anterior superior of the iliac spine

Question 14

Insertion of Tensor Fascia latae

Answer 14

Iliotibial (ITB)

inserts on the lateral condyle of tibia

Question 15

The function of Tensor Fascia Latae

Answer 15

Horizontal hip abduction
medial hip rotation
Assists the gluteus medius and minimus in hip adduction.

Question 16

Origin of rectus femoris

Answer 16

Anterior to the inferior iliac spine of the ilium

Question 17

Insertion of rectus femoris

Answer 17

superior patella
tibial tuberosity
via patella tendon

Question 18

function of rectus femoris

Answer 18

hip flexion and knee extension
