Document Summary

Exception adductor magnus muscle: the short fibers will pass in front of the hip flex the hip, inferior fibers goes way down to the distal end of the femur. Extensors of the hip same as the hamstring muscles. Adductor magnus: hip extensor, lower fibers were they attach, its posterior to hip articulation. Power movements functions of the muscles: hip extension, knee extension, plantar flexion of the ankle, preparation: hip flexion, knee flexion and dorsal flexion. They cross the hip and the knee (back) In terms of the power movement involved in hip extension. Involved in flexion of knee (not power movement) Origin (need to know) iliac tuberosity. There are three of them: two medial, one lateral, semitendinous (medial) , semimembranosus (medial) and biceps femoris (lateral, has a long head and short head. Long head origin common origin ischium passing down to the medial/lateral side. Short head origin back of the femur and passes down: you can differentiate them quite easily.
