Pelvis Flashcards
Anterior tilting
changes in degree of lumbar lordosis
Lateral tilting
changes in degree of hip abduction
Ischiofemoral Ligament
reinforces fibrous capsule posteriorly from ischial portion of acetabular rim to base of greater trochanter
-resists hyperextension
The lumbar plexus lies between:
-psoas major and quadratus lumborum, in psoas compartment
Iliacus origin
Upper 2/3 of iliac fossa of ilium, internal lip of iliac crest, lateral aspect of sacrum, ventral sacroiliac ligament, and lower portion of iliolumbar ligament
Iliacus insertion
lesser trochanter
Iliacus action
flex the torso and thigh with respect to each other
also external rotation
Iliacus innervation
muscular branch of femoral nerve
Psoas major and minor origin
Anterior surfaces and lower borders of transverse processes of L1 - L5 and bodies and discs of T12 - L5
Psoas major and minor insertion
lesser trochanter
Psoas major and minor action
flex the torso and thigh with respect to each other
also external rotation
Psoas major and minor innervation
direct fibers of L1-L3 lumbar plexus
Quadratus Lumborum origin
iliac crest posterior inner lip
Quadratus Lumborum insertinon
upper 4 lumbar vertebrae transverse processes, 12th rib lower border
Quadratus Lumborum action
lateral flexion (right performs right, left performs left)
Quadratus Lumborum innervation
ventral rami of 12th throacic and upper three or four lumbar spinal nerve
Gluteus max origin
Posterior aspect of dorsal ilium posterior to posterior gluteal line, posterior superior iliac crest, posterior inferior aspect of sacrum and coccyx, and sacrotuberous ligament
Gluteus max insertion
Primarily in fascia lata at the iliotibial band; also into the gluteal tuberosity on posterior femoral surface
Gluteus max action
Major extensor of hip joint, assists in laterally rotating the thigh; upper and middle third section of the muscle are abductors
Gluteus max innervation
inferior gluteal nerve
Gluteus med origin
dorsal ilium inferior to iliac crest
