These muscles are aided by the gluteus maximus and the inferior portion of the adductor magnus. Hip muscles also play a role in maintaining the standing posture. These muscles work in an integrated system with muscles of the shoulder, neck, core, lower leg, and supporting muscles of the spine, to provide the ability to stand with good posture. [1]
The adductor muscles of the hip are a group of muscles in the medial compartment of the thigh mostly used for bringing the thighs together (called adduction).
Abduction is an anatomical term of motion referring to a movement which draws a limb out to the side, away from the median sagittal plane of the body. It is thus opposed to adduction . Upper limb
This hip opener and glute stretch is a gentle way to wake up your lower body. Begin seated on the floor with your spine elongated. Bend both knees and bring the soles of your feet together.
Superior rectus muscle; Inferior rectus muscle; Medial rectus muscle; jaw (muscles of mastication, the closing of the jaw is adduction): masseter; pterygoid muscles (lateral and medial) temporalis; vocal folds. Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle
This lateral rotation may be initiated in conjunction with hip abduction and medial rotation of the femur while kicking a soccer ball. The tensor fasciae latae works in synergy with the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles to abduct and medially rotate the femur. The TFL is a hip abductor muscle.
"The movement involves the whole body, working muscles in the legs, arms and core," Julom explains. ... "Hip abductors are important for moving the leg away from the body's midline, which is ...
The lower part of the muscle also acts as an adductor and external rotator of the limb. The upper fibers act as abductors of the hip joints. The gluteus maximus is a tensor of the fascia lata, and by its connection with the iliotibial band steadies the femur on the articular surfaces of the tibia during standing, when the extensor muscles are ...
