Where do all of the Lateral Rotators insert?
Various parts of the Greater Trochanter
The Lateral Rotator (aka deep 6) are all innervated by which nerve, except?
Sacral Plexus Except the Obturator Externus, which is innervated by the Obturator nerve and is the only muscle on the Anterior section of the pelvis
What are the actions of the Piriformis and how does it differ from the other Lateral rotators?
Rotate the hip laterally ABDUCT the FLEXED hip
What are the Origins, and Insertions of the Piriformis
- Origin: Anterior surface of the Sacrum
- Insertion: Superior part of the Greater Trochanter
What are the Actions of the Iliopsoas muscles?
Psoas Major, Iliacus:
- Flex the hip
- Laterally Rotate the hip
There are other actions that are listed when the origin is Fixed, however these are not the primary actions. - Flex the Spine (Crunch)
Which muscles does the Femoral nerve Innervate?
- All Quadriceps (Vastus, Rectus)
- Iliac
- Sartorius
- Pectineus (Along with the obturator)
The Psoas Major and Quadratus Lumborum share an innervation, what is it?
Lumbar Plexus
What are the origins and insertions of the Iliopsoas muscles
Origin:
- Psoas Major: Transverse processes of the Lumbar Vertebrae
- Iliacus: The surface of the Iliac Fossa
Insertion:
- Both insert at the Lesser Trochanter
What is the orientation of the Adductors vs. the Lateral Rotators
The Adductors are located Anteriorly The Lateral Rotators are located Posteriorly
