THE HIP JOINT. Muscles of the Hip. Gluteus Maximus. O: lower posterior iliac crest and posterior surface of the sacrum I: gluteal tuberosity (upper, posterior aspect of the femur) & I.T. band Actions: Extension of the hip External rotation of the hip
E N D
Gluteus Maximus • O: lower posterior iliac crest and posterior surface of the sacrum • I: gluteal tuberosity (upper, posterior aspect of the femur) & I.T. band • Actions: • Extension of the hip • External rotation of the hip • Lower fibers (below the center of motion) assist in adduction
Gluteus Maximus • Produces hip extension beyond 15 degrees; not used extensively during walking • Strongly used during running, hopping, skipping, and jumping • Best isolated with the knee flexed to reduce hip extension from the hamstrings 40 degrees
Gluteus Medius • O: outer surface of the ilium just below the crest • I: greater trochanter • Actions: • Abduction of the hip • Anterior fibers: Internal rotation, • Posterior fibers: External rotation.
Gluteus Minimus • O: outer surface of the ilium beneath the gluteus medius • I: greater trochanter of the femur • Actions • Abduction of the hip • Internal rotation
Gluteus Medius and Minimus • During walking these muscles abduct (or hold up) the free leg, preventing it from sagging. • Both are important in transferring weight from one leg to the other (e.g. running, hopping, skipping, etc.) • Their effectiveness decreases with age.
Biceps Femoris • Lateral side • Origin: • 1.) Long head - ischial tuberosity; • 2.) Short head - lower half of the linea aspera • Insertion: Head of the fibula • Action: • Extension of hip • External rotation of the hip (and knee) • (Flexion of knee)
Biceps Femoris • One of the hamstring muscles (semitendinosus and semimembranosus) • A two-joint muscle which is a powerful hip extensor unless the knees are flexed • Isolated during leg curls with some external rotation of the hip and knee. This “lines up” the origin and insertion.
Semitendinosus • Medial side; superficial • Origin: Ischial tuberosity • Insertion: Medial surface of proximal end of the tibia • Action: • Extension of the hip • Internal rotation of the hip (and knee) • Flexion of the knee
Semimembranosus • Medial side, deeper than semitendonosus • Origin: Ischial tuberosity • Insertion: Medial surface of the tibia • Action: • Extension of the hip • Internal rotation of the hip (and knee) • Flexion of the knee
Semitendinosus & Semimembranosus • Two-joint muscles • Used in ordinary walking for hip extension • Best exercised with knee flexion exercises (leg curls) with the hip and knee internally rotated • Help to medially stabilize knee
Tensor Fasciae Latae • O: iliac crest • I: iliotibial (I.T.) band • Actions: • Flexion of the hip • Internal rotation • Abduction of the hip
Tensor Fasciae Latae • Prevents external rotation at the hip is flexed Stretching Strengthening
Iliopsoas • Origins: • iliac fossa • vertebral bodies of the last thorasic and lumbar vertebrae • I: lesser trochanter of the femur • Actions: • Flexion of the hip • External rotation
Iliopsoas • Strong hip flexor muscle • Raises legs off the floor from the supine position. • Pulls anteriorly on the lower lumbar vertebrae • May aggravate lower back problems • Abdominal muscles can prevent lumbar strain • Used during complete sit-ups and straight leg sit-ups. • Stretching this muscle requires hyper-extension of the hip.
Pectineous • O: pubic crest or ramus • I: below the linea aspera • Actions • Flexion • Adduction • Internal rotation
Tensor Fasciae Latae Pectineus
Adductor Brevis • Origin: Inferior ramus of pubis • Insertion: Pectineal line (linea aspera) • Actions: • Adduction • External rotation
Adductor Longus • Below the adductor brevis • O: front of the pubis just below its crest • I: middle third of the linea aspera • Actions: • Adduction • Flexion
Adductor Magnus • Located posterior to the longus • O: edge of the pubic crest and ischial tuberosity • I: linea aspera • Actions: • Adduction • External rotation
Gracilis • O: pubic crest • I: medial condyle of tibia • Actions: • Adduction at the hip • Internal rotation • [Flexion at the knee]
Adductor Muscles • Adductor Brevis • Adductor Longus • Adductor Magnus • Gracilis • Not heavily used in ordinary movements • Horse back riding, the breaststroke kick in swimming
Sartorius • Origin: Anterior-superior spine of the ilium • Insertion: Anterior medial condyle of the tibia (behind the medial condyle) • Action: • Flexion of hip • External rotation of the hip • [Flexion of the knee]
Sartorius • Longest muscle in the body • It is a two-joint muscle; hip flexion and knee flexion • It is weak when both actions take place at the same time.
Rectus Femoris • Two joint muscle; most superficial • Origin: anterior-inferior iliac spine of the ilium • Insertion: top of the patella and patellar ligament to the tibial tuberosity • Actions: • Flexion of the hip [Extension of the knee]
Rectus Femoris • A two-joint muscle: hip flexion and knee extension • Powerful knee extension when the hip is extended but weaker when the hip is flexed. • The gluteus maximus and the hamstring muscles will extend the hip making the rectus femoris stronger during knee extension
Hip Rotator Muscles • ANTERIOR • Obturator Externus Anterior
Hip Rotator Muscles • POSTERIOR • Piriformis • Gemellus superior • Obturator internus Gemellus inferior • Quadratus femoris Posterior
Hip Rotator Muscles Posterior Posterior
Hip Rotator Muscles Posterior Anterior
Six Hip Rotator Muscles • Common action is External Rotation • Powerful external rotation of the hip is required to throw a baseball, swing a bat or golf club. • The sciatic nerve passes just inferior to the piriformis therefore a tight piriformis muscle my contribute to compression on the sciatic nerve.
