origin
The longest muscle of the body, sartorius, orignates here.
What is the ASIS?
This is the projection on the posterior femur that the iliopsoas attaches to.
What is the lesser trochanter?
This nerve innervates all of the muscles of hip flexion except for the Iliacus portion of Iliopsoas.
What is the femoral nerve?
This muscles flexes the hip and is the only quad that crosses both the hip and the knee.
What is rectus femoris?
These muscles are weak if the patient has Trendelenburg gait.
What are the hip ABductors? (glute med and glute min)
The adductor brevis originates here.
What is pubis?
The rectus femoris insertion is here.
What is tibial tuberosity?
This nerve innervates the muscles that perform on the medial thigh.
What is the obturator?
This muscle performs a combination of hip flexion, ABduction, external rotation and some contributes to knee flexion.
What is sartorius?
This overuse injury common in runners results in lateral knee pain.
What is ITB syndrome?
Except for the short head of biceps femoris, all other hamstrings originate here.
What is ischial tuberosity?
The TFL attaches inserts here via the ITB.
What is the lateral condyle of the tibia?
This nerve innervates the glute max.
What is the inferior gluteal nerve?
This muscle performs hip medial/internal rotation.
What is glute min?
30 degrees hip flexion, 30 degrees hip abd, and some external rotation describes this.
What is open pack position of the hip?
The short head of biceps femoris has this origination point.
What is the lateral lip of linea aspera?
All of the deep rotator muscles attach here.
What is the great trochanter area?
The hip aBductors have this common nerve.
What is superior gluteal?
This muscle performs a combination of hip flexion and ABduction.
What is TFL?
This deepens the socket of the acetabulum.
What is the labrum?
Along with sartorius, this hip muscle originates on the ASIS.
What is the TFL?
Both heads of biceps femoris insert here.
What is fibular head?
The hamstrings are innervated by the sciatic nerve with the exception of the short head of biceps femoris which is innervated by this nerve.
What is common peroneal/fibular nerve?
This muscles performs hip ext and originates on the posterior sacrum and ilium.
What is glute Max?
This is also known as the "Y" ligament; it reinforces the anterior capsule of the hip.
