Document Summary

Muscles that move the thigh, muscles that move the leg, muscles that move the foot and toes. Muscles that have action lines that pass posterior to axis of hip joint are extensors of hip (hamstrings) Muscles that have action lines that pass anterior to axis of hip joint are flexors of hip (iliopsoas group, anterior fibers of gluteus medius) Muscles that have action lines that pass medial to axis of hip joint are adductors of hip (adductor longus muscle) may also produce medial rotation. Muscles that have action lines that pass lateral to axis of hip joint are abductors of hip (gluteus medius, gluteus minimus) may also produce lateral rotation. O: iliac crest, posterior gluteal line, lateral surface of ilium;sacrum, coccyx, thoracolumbar fascia. I: illiotibial tract(it band, band of collagen fibers, extend along lateral surface of thigh, inserts on tibia. Lateral support for knee), gluteal tuberosity of femur.
