Lecture 15 Flashcards
Pectineus Action
hip adduction
slightly flexes hip
assists with hip lateral rotation
Pectineus PA
superior pubic ramus
Pectineus DA
pectineal line of femur
Pectineus Nerve Innervation
femoral nerve L2, L3
may receive a branch from obturator nerve
Sartorius PA
anterior superior iliac spine
Sartorius Action
at the hip…
- abduction
- flexion
- lateral rotation
at the knee.
- flexion
-medial rotation when flexed
Sartorius Nerve Innervation
femoral nerve L2, L3
Sartorius DA
pes anserine of tibia
Gluteus Maximus Action
hip extension (especially from flexed position)
assists in hip lateral rotation
fixes hip joint and assists in rising from sitting position
Gluteus Maximus PA
posterior gluteal line of ilium
dorsal sacrum and coccyx
sacrotuberous ligament
Gluteus Maximus DA
Most fibers end in iliotibial tract,
which attaches to Gerdy’s tubercle
of tibia
Some fibers insert on gluteal tuberosity
Gluteus Maximus Nerve Innervation
inferior gluteal nerve L5, S1, S2
Gluteus Medius Action
Hip abduction
Hip medial rotation
Hip external rotation by posterior fibers of glut med
Keeps contralateral pelvis level during single limb stance
Gluteus Medius PA
ilium, between anterior and posterior gluteal lines
Gluteus Medius DA
greater trochanter
Gluteus Medius Nerve Innervation
superior gluteal nerve L4, L5, S1
Gluteus Minimus Action
Hip abduction
Hip medial rotation
Keeps contralateral pelvis level during single limb stance
Gluteus Minimus PA
ilium, between anterior and inferior gluteal lines
Gluteus Minimus DA
greater trochanter
Gluteus Minimus Nerve Innervation
superior gluteal nerve L4, L5, S1
Tensor Fasciae Latae Action
Hip abduction
Hip medial rotation
Keeps contralateral pelvis level during single limb stance
Tensor Fasciae Latae PA
anterior superior iliac spine
anterior iliac crest
Tensor Fasciae Latae DA
liotibial tract, which attaches to
Gerdy’s tubercle of tibia
Tensor Fasciae Latae Nerve Innervation
superior gluteal nerve L4, L5, S1
Piriformis Action
laterally rotate extended hip
abduct flexed hip
stabilize hip joint
Piriformis PA
anterior sacrum
sacrotuberous ligament
Piriformis DA
greater trochanter
