Medial Thigh Flashcards
Adductor Longus
prox: pubis - body inferior to pubic crest
distal: femur - middle part of linea aspera
innerv: anterior branch of obturator nerve
fxn: hip adduction & weak flexion
Pectineus
prox: pubis - superior ramus
distal: femur - pectineal line
innerv: femoral nerve
fxn: hip flexion & adduction
assists in medial rotation
Adductor Brevis
prox: pubis - body & inferior ramus
distal: femur - pectineal line
proximal part of linea aspera
innerv: anterior branch of oburator nerve
fxn: hip adduction & weak flexion
Adductor Magnus
prox: adductor part: pubis - inferior ramus
ischium - ramus
hamstrings part: ischium - ischial tuberosity
distal: adductor part: femur - gluteal tuberosity
linea aspera
medial supracondylar line
hamstrings part: femur - adductor tubercle
innerv: adductor part: posterior branch of obturator nerve
hamstrings part: tibial part of sciatic nerve
fxn: hip adduction
adductor part: hip flexion
hamstrings part: hip extension
Gracilis
prox: pubix - body & inferior ramus
distal: tibia (proximal) - medial surface
innerv: obturator nerve
fxn: hip adduction
knee flexion & medial rotation (tibia on femur)
Obturator Externus
prox: obturator membrane - lateral surface & surrounding bones
distal: femur - trochanteric fossa
innerv: obturator nerve
fxn: hip lateral rotation
