    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilton's_law

    Hilton's law, espoused by John Hilton in a series of medical lectures given in 1860–1862, [1] is the observation that in the study of anatomy, the nerve supplying the muscles extending directly across and acting at a given joint not only supplies the muscle, but also innervates the joint and the skin overlying the muscle.

  3. Inferior gluteal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_gluteal_nerve

    The inferior gluteal nerve is the main motor neuron that innervates the gluteus maximus muscle. It is responsible for the movement of the gluteus maximus in activities requiring the hip to extend the thigh, such as climbing stairs. Injury to this nerve is rare but often occurs as a complication of posterior approach to

  4. Femoral nerve - Wikipedia

    Hip joint is supplied by the nerve to the rectus femoris. [1] Knee joint is supplied by the nerves to the three vastus muscles. The nerve to vastus medialis is particularly thick because it contains the proprioceptive fibres from the knee joint. This is in accordance to the Hilton's law. [1]

  5. Adductor muscles of the hip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adductor_muscles_of_the_hip

    The pectineus is the only adductor muscle that is innervated by the femoral nerve. The other adductor muscles are innervated by the obturator nerve [ 1 ] with the exception of a small part of the adductor magnus which is innervated by the tibial nerve .

  6. Superior gluteal nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_gluteal_nerve

    Weakness or paralysis of these muscles caused by a damaged superior gluteal nerve can result in a weak abduction in the affected hip joint. This gait disturbance is known as Trendelenburg gait. In a positive Trendelenburg's sign the pelvis sags toward the normal unsupported side (the swing leg).

  7. Iliopsoas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliopsoas

    It can cause pain in the low or mid back, SI joint, hip, groin, thigh, knee, or any combination. The iliopsoas gets innervation from the L2-4 nerve roots of the lumbar plexus which also send branches to the superficial lumbar muscles. The femoral nerve passes through the muscle and innervates the quadriceps, pectineus, and sartorius muscles. It ...
