Week 3 Gluteal region Flashcards
superior, inferior, lateral, and medial border of gluteal region
superior: iliac crest
inferior: gluteal fold
lateral: line from ASIS to greater trochanter
medial: natal cleft
sacrotuberous ligament and its attachments
ischial tuberosity
sacrum and coccyx PSIS
(posterior superior iliac spine)
.
.
vertical direction
roof and floor of gluteal region
roof: skin
floor: ilium
sacrospinous ligament and its attachments
ischial spine
sacrum and coccyx
.
horizontal direction
proximal and distal attachment of gluteus maximus
proximal:
- ilium posterior to posterior gluteal line
- dorsal surface of sacrum and coccyx
- sacrotuberous ligament
distal:
- iliotibial tract (superficial 75%)
- gluteal tuberosity (deep 25%)
innervation of gluteus maximus
inferior gluteal nerve
main action of gluteus maximus
extends hip joint
assist in lateral rotation
proximal and distal attachment of gluteus medius
proximal: external surface of ilium between anterior and posterior
gluteal lines
distal: lateral
surface of greater trochanter of femur
innervation of gluteus medius
superior gluteal nerve
main action of gluteus medius
abducts and medially rotates hip joint
proximal and distal attachment of gluteus minimus
proximal: external surface of ilium between anterior and inferior
gluteal lines
distal: anterior
surface of greater trochanter of femur
innervation of gluteus minimus
superior gluteal nerve
main action of gluteus minimus
abducts and medially rotates hip joint
proximal and distal attachment of tensor fasciae latae
proximal:
- anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS)
- anterior part of iliac crest
distal:
- iliotibial tract, attaches to lateral condyle of tibia
