Lecture 6 (test 2): Hip Musculature Flashcards
the lumbar plexus supplies what area of the body
anterior/medial thigh
the sacral plexus supplies what area of the body
posterior lateral hip and posterior thigh and entire lower leg
anterior capsule is innervated by
femoral and obturator nerves from the lumbar plexus
posterior capsule is innervated by what
sacral plexus
roots of femoral n
L2-4
the femoral n supplies what
most hip flexors
-psoas
-iliacus
-sartorious
-pectineus
-quads
all knee extensors
sensory to anterior medial thigh
obturator n roots
L2-4
obturator n supplies what
hipp adductirs
obturator externus
sensory to medial thigh
nerves that come of sacral plexus
superior gluteal n
inferior gluteal n
n to piriformis
scaitic n
n to obturator internus and gemellus sup
n to quadratus femoris and gemellus inf
primary muscles that flex the hip
iliopsoas
sartorius
tensor fascia latae
rectus femoris
adductor longus
pectineus
secondary muscles that flex the hip
adductor brevis
gracilis
anterior fibers glut min
describe iliopsoas and psoas major
large/long
iliacus= in iliacus fossa/over SI joint
psaos major = TP T12/discs (blends with diaphragm)
both muscles blend anterior to the femoral head before attaching to the lesser trochanter
what is “internal snapping hip”
distal abrasion at iliopubic eminence region
actions of iliopsoas
prominent femoral on hip flexor and flexor of trunk/pelvis over fixed thighs
swing phase of walk/run
frontal plane stability of lumbar spine (bilateral contraction) with unilateral leg SLR
where is psoas minor, where does it attach, and what does it do
directly anterior to major
present in 60-65%
attaches on T12/L1 bodies medial to acetabulum and iliac fascia
may help stabilize the position of the underlying psoas major (prevents “bowstring”)
describe the sartorius (location, characteristics, and actions)
longest muscle in body.
“tailor’s muscle”
runs form ASIS to medial proximal tibia at pes anserine
actions = hip flexion, ER, and abd
innervation of sartorious
femoral n (posterior division of L2 and L3)
attachment and action of tensor fascia latae
from ilium to IT band (short)
flexor/abd of hip
*IR from ER only
TFL innervation
superior gluteal n
L4, L5, S1
rectus femoris attachments and function
between sartorius and TFL
from AIIS and sup rim of acetabulum/capsule to the tibia
1/3 isometric torque at hip
primary knee extensor
innervation rectus femoris
femoral n
describe pelvic on femoral hip flexion: anterior tilt
a force couple with femurs fixed: hip flexors and trunk extensors (stretch flexors, contract extensors??)
lordosis increases
load on facets increase anterior shear force of L5/S1
describe femoral on plevic hip flexion
often simultaneous with knee flexion to shorten limb
mod to high power coactivation of hip flexors and abdominals
what happens if the core is not properly activated during activation of the hip flexors
reduced activation of core causes a marked anterior tilt of pelvis with contraction of hip flexors
