Document Summary
Divided into two layers: superficial and deep. Superficial muscles: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, tensor fasciae latae. Deep muscles: deep lateral rotators including piriformis. The thickened lateral portion of the fascia lata. Runs from the iliac crest to the knee. Responsible for lateral rotation of thigh (hip) and help stabilize hip joint. These muscles lie over the anterior hip joint. These muscles flex the hip joint;as a result they can flex the trunk or flex the thigh. Two major anterior hip muscles: psoas major. Flexes hip joint, resulting in the flexion of the thigh and/or trunk. Three muscle groups surround the femur and are divided from one another by connective tissue sheets. The three muscles groups are the anterior, medial, and posterior femoral (thigh) muscles. The anterior thigh muscles include: sartorius, quadriceps femoris, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius. Anterior and lateral surfaces of shaft of femur. The medial thigh muscles make up the adductor group .
