Gluteal Region OINAs

QuestionAnswer
Gluteus Maximus Origin External/gluteal surface of ilium, posterior surfaces of sacrum & sacrotuberous ligament.
Gluteus Maximus Insertion Most fibers into iliotibial tract of the fascia lata, some fibers into gluteal tuberosity of femur.
Gluteus Maximus Action Extension of thigh at hip, extension of trunk when the lower limbs are fixed, and lateral rotation of thigh at hip.
Gluteus Maximus Nerve Inferior gluteal (L5, S1, S2).
