Iliofemoral Ligament
strongest ligament in body
limits hyperextension
keeps head of femur in acetabulum
Ligamentum Teres
keeps femur in acetabulum
surrounds and protects blood vessel that provides blood to femur
Iliopsoas
PM Hip flexion, Spine flexion
Assist ER
Rectus Femoris
PM Hip Flexion, Knee Extension
Assist Hip Abduction
TFL
PM IR
Assist flexion and abduction
Gluteus Maximus
PM Extension, ER, Abduction
PM for hip extension when knee is flexed
Gluteus Medius
“deltoid of lower extremity”
PM abduction, IR, ER
Assist flexion and extension
Gluteus Minimus
deep to glute med
PM Abduction and IR
assist flexion
Piriformis
PM ER
Assist abduction
If tight can pinch sciatic nerve
Semitendinosus
PM hip extension, knee flexion, tibial IR
Assist Hip ER
Semimembranosus
PM Hip extension, knee flexion, tibial IR
Assist Hip ER
Biceps Femoris
PM Hip extension, knee flexion, Tibial ER
Assist Hip ER
Adductor Magnus, Longus, Brevis
PM adduction, Assist IR
Gracilis
PM Adduction, assist IR, weak knee flexor
Pectineus
PM Adduction, weak hip flexor
Anterior Tilt
VC: Hyperextension
Hip: Flexion
Posterior Tilt
VC: Flexion
Hip: Extension
Lateral Tilt
VC: Lateral flexion to supported side
Hip: Adduction (weight bearing side)
Abduction (non weight bearing side)
Rotation
VC: Rotation to opposite side
Hip: IR with forward rotation
ER with backward rotation
Sartorius
