MY muscles of the hip

• The iliopsoas muscle is the main hip flexor
• The iliopsoas muscle attaches at the T12-L4 and the illiac fossa
• iliopsoas muscle muscle inserts into the lesser trochanter of femur
• the iliopsoas muscle is inervated by the femeral nerve and lumbar plexus
• This is the iliopsoas muscle

  
• Glute max flexors, externally rotates hip and stabilises
• Glute max is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve
• Glute max attaches at the surface of the ilium and coccyx and sacrum
• Glute max inserts into the gluteal tuberosity of the femur
• This is the glute max

  
• Glute med does abduction
• Gute med, glute min and TFL are all innervated by the superior gluteal nerve
• Glute med inserts onto the greater trochanter of the femur
• Glute med originates from the outer surface of the ilium
• TFL originates from the anterior lateral iliac crest
• Piriformis inserts onto the greater trochanter of the femur
• Glute min abducts and stabilises
• Glute min orignates from the gluteal surface of the ilium
• This muscle is the gluteus med

  
• This muscle is the glute min

  
• Tensor fasae latae extends the hip and laterally rotates the knee
• The TFL originates from the ASIS and inserts into the iliotibial band
• This muscle is the TFL

  
• The piriformus externally rotates the hip
• The piriformus orginates from the pelvic surface of the sacrum
• The piriformis inserts into the greater trochanter
• The piriformus is innervated by the superior glute nerve
• This muscle is the piriformis

  
• This muscle is the obturator internus

  
• The obturator muscle externally rotates the hip
• The superior and inferior gemellus externally rotate the hip
• This muscle is the superior gemellus

  
• This muscle is the inferior gemellus
