  2. Muscles of the hip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hip

    The gluteal muscles include the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.They cover the lateral surface of the ilium.The gluteus maximus, which forms most of the muscle of the buttocks, originates primarily on the ilium and sacrum and inserts on the gluteal tuberosity of the femur as well as the iliotibial tract, a tract of strong fibrous tissue that runs ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_rotator_group

    This group does not include all muscles which aid in lateral rotation of the hip joint: rather it is a collection of ones which are known for primarily performing this action. Other muscles that contribute to lateral rotation of the hip include: Gluteus maximus muscle (lower fibres) Gluteus medius muscle and gluteus minimus muscle when the hip ...

  4. Gluteal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_muscles

    Its action is to extend and to laterally rotate the hip, and also to extend the trunk. The gluteus maximus is larger in size and thicker in humans than in other primates . [ 2 ] Specifically, it is approximately 1.6 times larger relative to body mass compared to chimpanzees and comprises about 18.3% of total hip musculature mass versus 11.7% in ...

    Piriformis syndrome is tightness or inflammation of the piriformis (a buttock muscle that supports hip rotation), irritating the sciatic nerve. Pain is usually burning, shooting, or aching down ...

  6. Gluteus minimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_minimus

    With the hip extended, gluteus minimus externally rotates the thigh. [4] [5] It is also a local stabilizer for the hip. The attachment to the superior capsule of the hip may also serve to retract the capsule away from the joint during motion. This mechanism may prevent capsular impingement similar to the role of the articularis genus in the ...

  7. Gluteus maximus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_maximus

    The gluteus maximus is the main extensor muscle of the hip in humans. It is the largest and outermost of the three gluteal muscles and makes up a large part of the shape and appearance of each side of the hips. It is the single largest muscle in the human body. [1] Its thick fleshy mass, in a quadrilateral shape, forms the prominence of the ...

    The muscles of internal rotation include: of arm/humerus at shoulder. Anterior part of the deltoid muscle [1] Subscapularis [1] Teres major [1] Latissimus dorsi [1] Pectoralis major [1] of thigh/femur at hip [2] Tensor fasciae latae; Gluteus generalis; Anterior fibers of Gluteus meralis; Adductor longus and Adductor brevis; of leg at knee [3 ...

  9. Gemelli muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemelli_muscles

    Both muscles also help to laterally rotate the extended thigh and abduct the flexed thigh at the hip by assisting the internal obturator. [1] The gemelli muscles act to compensate the reduced power of the internal obturator as it turns around the lesser sciatic notch. [1] Blood supply is from the inferior gluteal artery.
