01/12/23 Lower limb I: hip to knee: part 2 Learning objective: description of the major muscles of the compartment of the thigh and the gluteal muscles including the attachments and function. Learning objective: description of the function of gluteal muscles in walking and gluteus maximus and hip exion. Classification of hip muscles: octside origin attach to press femur within attach prod to femur Extrinsic muscles: The lliopsoas is the extrinsic muscle which is formed from separate muscles that join together to insert onto the femur. attach to lesser trochanter Intrinsic group: ( superficial ) posterior If will If will these fibres contract view femur the abduct these adduct fibres contract the femur Iliotibial tract: lateral Intrinsic muscles ( deep ): Posterior Schematic to help remember: Thigh compartments: left leg axially In the thigh we have 3 compartments, the hip adductors mostly occupy the medial area. Adductors of the thigh I: Adductors of the thigh II: Schematic for hip adductors Hip flexors and knee extensors: anterior compartment: 49 4 Schematic for anterior thigh Hip extensors and knee flexors: the hamstrings posterior
