    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_rotator_group

    The lateral rotator group is a group of six small muscles of the hip which all externally (laterally) rotate the femur in the hip joint. It consists of the following muscles: piriformis, gemellus superior, obturator internus, gemellus inferior, quadratus femoris and the obturator externus. [1]

    External rotation (or extorsion or lateral rotation) is an anatomical term of motion referring to rotation away from the center of the body. The external rotator muscles include: Muscles

  4. Muscles of the hip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hip

    The adductor group is responsible for hip adduction. Medial rotation is performed by the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae and assisted by the adductors brevis and longus and the superior portion of the adductor magnus. Each muscle of the lateral rotator group causes lateral rotation of the thigh.

    External rotation and extension of the hip joint, supports the extended knee through the iliotibial tract, chief antigravity muscle in sitting and abduction of the hip: Antagonist: Iliacus, psoas major and psoas minor: Identifiers; Latin: musculus glutaeus maximus: TA98: A04.7.02.006: TA2: 2598: FMA: 22314: Anatomical terms of muscle

  7. Gluteus medius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_medius

    The posterior fibres of gluteus medius contract to produce hip extension, lateral rotation and abduction. During gait, the posterior fibres help to decelerate internal rotation of the femur at the end of swing phase. Together with the gluteus minimus and other short pelvi-trochanteric muscles it centers and stabilises the hip.

  8. Gluteal muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteal_muscles

    The functions of muscles includes extension, abduction and internal as well as external rotation of the hip joint. The gluteus maximus also supports the extended knee through the iliotibial tract. The human gluteus maximus plays multiple important functional roles, particularly in running rather than walking.

  9. Pectineus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pectineus_muscle

    The pectineus muscle is the most anterior adductor of the hip. The muscle's primary action is hip flexion; it also produces adduction and external rotation of the hip. It can be classified in the medial compartment of thigh [2] (when the function is emphasized) or the anterior compartment of thigh (when the nerve is emphasized). [3]
