Document Summary

Lower limb muscles (reading materials: chapter 11: pages 308-321, 327-328; chapter 22: pages 589-591, Note: to understand the primary function a muscle you need to know where the muscle comes from (origin) and where it is going to (insertion). Muscles that move the thigh (gluteal region): posterior: gluteal maximus. Originates at external surface of iliac bone and posterior of sacrum and coccyx. Inserts to band of tissue lateral side, ilial tibial tract (originates at crest of iliac bone) gluteal medius gluteal minimus. Originates from upper portion oernal surface of hip bone. Originates at lower portion of external face of bone. When you are just standing, you do not have to energy of big powerful muscles, you literally only need this tensor tensor fasciae latae anterior: Goes across the hip joint, inserts into the lesser trocanter of the soas major femor. When they both flex, they flex the thigh at the joint. Insertion is also lesser trocanter psoas major iliacus.
