Muscles 2

Hip and Thigh

100

This pair of muscles attaches to the iliotibial band

tensor fascia latae and gluteus maximus

200

This muscle is the deepest among the gluteals listed

gluteus minimus

300

The hamstrings all originate on this bony landmark

ischial tuberosity

400

This is the most lateral of the hamstring muscles

biceps femoris

500

This muscle, known for being the longest in the body, also flexes the hip and knee.

sartorius

TRIGGER POINTS & CLINICAL PATTERNS

100

The trigger point referral pattern for peroneus brevis travels down this region

lateral aspect of the leg and ankle

200

The trigger point pattern for gastrocnemius refers pain mostly to this region.

medial arch of the foot & posterior leg

300

This trigger point can be mistaken for plantar fasciitis due to its foot pain referral

abductor hallucis

400

This pathology may occur if the dorsiflexor muscle group becomes inflamed

compartment syndrome

500

 The trigger point pattern for peroneus brevis does not refer to the medial arch—rather, it follows this pathway.

 down lateral aspect of the leg and ankle

Lower Leg and Foot Movement

100

muscle dorsiflexes and inverts the foot

tibialis anterior

200

This compartment of the lower leg contains the majority of the peroneal muscles

What is the lateral compartment

300

muscle is responsible for inversion and plantarflexion of the foot

 tibialis posterior

400

In the post compartment, this muscle is the only one that acts at both the knee and ankle joints 

Gastrocnemius

500

This muscle unlocks the knee by medially rotating the leg at the knee joint.

popliteus

Pathology

100

 This disease is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

200

Pain from bursitis may appear in these assessment types

active ROM, passive ROM, and palpation

300

This condition causes foot pain that worsens after rest followed by activity

plantar fasciitis

400

This condition includes types known as “student’s elbow,” “housemaid’s knee,” and “tailor’s bottom.”

bursitis

500

Gradual worsening lateral thigh and lateral knee pain best describes this pathology.

iliotibial band contracture

Ligaments and special structures

100

This group of three structures lies within the femoral triangle.

femoral nerve, femoral artery, and femoral vein 

200

The plantaris muscle usually blends with the Achilles tendon before attaching to this bone

calcaneus

300

This large bursa reduces friction between the greater trochanter and gluteus maximus.

trochanteric bursa

400

This structure is associated with plantar fasciitis

plantar aponeurosis

500

These boundaries define the femoral triangle

adductor longus, sartorius, and the inguinal ligament
