This reflex is elicited by lightly stroking or poking the superior and medial (inner) part of the thigh—regardless of the direction of stroke. [1] The normal response is an immediate contraction of the cremaster muscle that pulls up the testicle ipsilaterally (on the same side of the body). The reflex utilizes sensory and motor fibers from ...
Inner hip pain. Pain on your high-inner leg could point to a groin injury. The groin comprises several muscles that attach to the inner thigh. Outer hip pain.
Clinically, a reflex arc termed the cremasteric reflex can be demonstrated by lightly stroking the skin of the inner thigh downwards from the hip towards the knee. This stimulates the sensory fibers of the ilioinguinal nerve, which enters the spinal cord at L1.
In the thigh, the nerve lies in a groove between iliacus muscle and psoas major muscle, outside the femoral sheath, and lateral to the femoral artery. After a short course of about 4 cm in the thigh, the nerve is divided into anterior and posterior divisions, separated by lateral femoral circumflex artery. The branches are shown below: [1]
Pain in hips and/or restriction of hip movement. Transferred nerve pain down leg. Can be associated with bladder and/or bowel dysfunction. A feeling of the symphysis pubis giving way. Stooped back when standing. Malalignment of pelvic and/or back joints. Struggle to sit or stand. Pain may also radiate down the inner thighs. Waddling or ...
Thigh injury resulting from sports, whether acute or from overuse, can mean significant incapacity to perform. Soft tissue injury can encompass sprains, strains, bruising and tendinitis. Runner's knee (patellofemoral pain) is a direct consequence of the kneecap rubbing against the end of the thigh bone . Tight hamstrings and weak thigh muscles ...
An adductor tenotomy (cutting the origin tendons of the adductor muscles of the thigh) and obturator neurectomy (cutting the anterior branch of the obturator nerve) are sometimes performed on children with cerebral palsy.
Those with femoral nerve dysfunction may present problems of difficulties in movement and a loss of sensation. [medical citation needed] The patient, in terms of motor skills, may have problems such as quadriceps wasting, loss of knee extension and a lesser extent of hip flexion given the femoral nerve involvement of the iliacus and pectineus muscles.
