Hip Muscles

Origin, insertion, function, and innervation

TermDefinition
Iliopsoas Origin – psoas major: T12 – L5 vertebra & intervertebral discs iliacus: iliac fossa Insertion – lesser trochanter of femur Function – hip flexion Innervation – femoral nerve (L2-3)
Tensor fascia latae (TFL) (“lah-tey”) Origin – ASIS and anterior iliac crest Insertion – IT band Function – hip flexion, ABD & IR Innervation – superior gluteal nerve (L4-5)
Sartorius Origin – ASIS Insertion – superior medial tibia Function – hip flexion, ABD & ER and knee flexion Innervation – femoral nerve (L2-3)
Pectinius Origin – superior ramus of pubis Insertion – pectineal line of femur Function – hip flexion and adduction Innervation – femoral nerve (L2-4)
Adductor longus Origin – body of pubis Insertion – linea aspera of femur Function – hip adduction Innervation – obturator nerve (L2-4)
Adductor brevis Origin – body and inferior ramus of pubis Insertion – pectineal line and proximal linea aspera of femur Function – hip adduction Innervation – obturator nerve (L2-4)
Adductor magnus Origin – ischial tuberosity & inferior ramus of pubis Insertion – linea aspera and adductor tubercle of femur Function – hip adduction Innervation – obturator and sciatic nerves (L2-4)
Gracilis Origin – body & inferior ramus of pubis Insertion – superior medial tibia Function – hip adduction and knee flexion Innervation – obturator nerve (L2-3)
Gluteus maximus Origin – posterior sacrum & ilium Insertion – IT band and gluteal tuberosity of femur Function – hip extension & ER Innervation – inferior gluteal nerve (L5, S1-2)
Gluteus medius Origin – lateral surface of ilium Insertion – lateral greater trochanter Function – hip abduction Innervation – superior gluteal nerve (L5, S1)
Gluteus minimus Origin – lateral surface of ilium Insertion – anterior greater trochanter Function – hip abduction & IR or ER, depending on ant. or post. fibers Innervation – superior gluteal nerve (L4-S1)
Piriformis Origin – anterior sacrum Insertion – greater trochanter Function – ER if the hip is extended, ABD if the hip is flexed, and joint stabilization Innervation – anterior rami of S1-2
Obturator externus Origin – membrane of obturator foramen Insertion – trochanteric fossa of femur Function – hip ER, adduction, and joint stabilization Innervation – obturator nerve (L3-4)
Obturator internus Origin – membrane of obturator foramen Insertion – medial greater trochanter of femur Function – ER if the hip is extended, ABD if the hip is flexed, and joint stabilization Innervation – nerve to obturator internus (L5, S1)
Superior Gemelli Origin - Ischial Spine Insertion - Medial Greater Trochanter Function - ER if hip is extended, ABD if hip is flexed Innervation - Nerve to obturator internus (L5, S1)
Inferior Gemelli Origin - Ischial Tuberosity Insertion - Medial Greater Trochanter Function - ER if hip is extended, ABD if hip is flexed Innervation - Nerve to quadratus femoris (L5, S1)
Quadratus femoris (“fem-a-ris”) Origin – lateral ischial tuberosity Insertion – intertrochanteric crest of femur Function – hip ER and joint stabilization Innervation – nerve to quadratus femoris (L5, S1)
Quadriceps Muscle Group Origins Rectus femoris: AIIS Vastus lateralis: greater trochanter and lateral linea aspera Vastus medialis: intertrochanteric line and medial linea aspera Vastus intermedius: anterior & lateral surfaces of femur
Quadriceps Actions and Innervation Rectus Femoris - Only one that also flexes hip Vastus Lateralis - Extends knee Vastus Medialis - Extends knee Vastus Intermedius - Extends knee Innervation - Femoral Nerve
Hamstrings Origins Semitendonosis - Ischial Tuberosity Semimembranosis - Ischial Tuberosity Biceps Femoris - Long head = Ischial Tuberosity Biceps Femoris - Short head = Linea Aspera and Lateral Femur
Hamstrings Actions and Innervation Knee flexion, all but the short head of Biceps Femoris also extend the hip Innervation - Sciatic Nerve (L5-S2)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
