leg region
ankle region
talocrural region
foot region
knee region
anterior - patellar region
posterior - popliteal fossa

lateral border
muscles of the gluteal region
gluteus maximus
gluteus minimus
piriformus muscle
superior and inferior gemellus
quadratus femoris
action, origin, insertion and innervation of gluteus maximus
action - thigh extension, external rotation, abduction and adduction
origin - lateroposterior surface of sacrum and coccyx, gluteal surface of ilium, thoracolumbar fascia and sacrotuberous ligament
insertion - iliotiberal tract, gluteal tuberosity
innervation - inferior gluteal nerve
action, origin, insertion and innervation of gluteus minimus
action - thigh abduction and internal rotation, pelvis stabilisation
origin - gluteal surface of ilium
insertion - anterior aspect of greater trochanter
innervation - superior gluteal nerve
action, origin, insertion and innervation of piriformis
action - thigh external rotation and abduction, stabilisation of head of femur in acetabulum
origin - anterior surface of sacrum, gluteal surface of ilium
insertion - greater trochanter
innervation - nerve to piriformis
muscles of anterior thigh

what type of joint is the knee
synovial axial
what are the 2 extracapsular ligaments of the knee
medial collateral ligaments
lateral collateral ligament
what are the 4 intracapsular ligaments of the knee
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
medial meniscus
lateral meniscus
what direction do the collateral ligaments run
superior to inferior
what shape are the menisci
semicircle
where does the transverse ligament of the knee run
transverse plane, posterior surface of the knee, joins medial and lateral menisci posteriorly

innervation of the posterior leg
tibial nerve
where does the popliteus muscle lie
deep to gastrocnemius
transverse/oblique plane
posterior and inferior to the knee
think popliteal fossa
what is plantar flexion
movement of the foot downwards away from body
what is dorsiflexion
movement of foot upwards towards body
what is the talocrural joint and what movements is it responsible for
‘ankle’ joint
plantar flexion and dorsiflexion
what movements are the subtalar and transverse tarsal joints responsible for
inversion and eversion of the foot
innervation of the anterior leg
deep fibular nerve
innervation of the lateral leg
superficial fibular nerve
