hip bones
This bone forms the socket part of the hip joint.
What is the acetabulum?
This is the largest and most superficial gluteal muscle.
What is gluteus maximus?
The gluteus maximus performs this action of the hip.
What is hip extension.
The hip joint is this kind of joint.
What is a ball and socket joint?
The gluteus maximus inserts on this thickened lateral band of fascia.
What is the IT band?
This boney landmark of the femur articulates with the acetabulum.
What is head of the femur?
This deep muscle of the posterior hip is a major lateral rotation.
What is the periformis?
The hamstrings are involved in knee flexion and this hip movement.
What is hip extension?
This motion involves the thigh moving in a circular pattern.
What is circumduction?
The sartorius originates from this anterior pelvic landmark.
What is the ASIS?
This ridge runs along the posterior femur and serves as a muscle attachment site.
What is the linea aspera?
The long head of this hamstring muscle originates on the ischial tuberosity.
What is biceps femoris?
This small deep gluteal muscle assists in lateral rotation and is located inferior to the periformis.
What is the quadratus femoris?
The TFL assists in hip abduction of this lateral knee structure.
What is the IT band?
the hamstrings originate from this boney projection.
What is the ischial tuberosity?
This prominent hip bone landmark is easily felt on the front of your pelvis.
What is the ASIS?
This medial thigh muscle is responsible for adducting the hip and is innervated by the obturator nerve.
What is adductor longus?
The iliopsoas is the prime mover for this action at the hip.
What is hip flexion?
During gait, this phase involves hip ex and knee flexion.
What is the swing phase?
The lesser trochanter is the insertion point of this powerful hip flexor muscle.
What is the iliopsoas?
This prominent hip bone landmark is easily felt on the front of your pelvis.
What is ASIS?
This medial thigh muscle is responsible for adducting the hip and is innervated by the obturator nerve.
What is adductor longus?
The iliopsoas is the prime mover for this action at the hip.
What is hip flexion?
During gait, this phase involves hip extension and knee flexion.
What is the swing phase?
The cactus lateral is originates from this rough ridge on the posterior femur.
What is the linea aspera?
