In open-chain exercises, as part of the iliopsoas, the iliacus is important for lifting (flexing) the femur forward (e.g. front scale).In closed-chain exercises, the iliopsoas bends the trunk forward and can lift the trunk from a lying posture (e.g. sit-ups, back scale) because the psoas major crosses several vertebral joints and the sacroiliac joint.
The iliacus originates in the iliac fossa of the pelvis. [2] The psoas major unites with the iliacus at the level of the inguinal ligament. It crosses the hip joint to insert on the lesser trochanter of the femur. [1] The iliopsoas is classified as an "anterior hip muscle" or "inner hip muscle". [2] The psoas minor does contribute to the ...
The iliacus and nearby muscles. The hip flexors are (in descending order of importance to the action of flexing the hip joint): [2] Collectively known as the iliopsoas or inner hip muscles: Psoas major; Iliacus muscle; Anterior compartment of thigh.

The iliacus muscle, a hip flexor, is a crucial muscle for cyclists. Show it some TLC with these exercises. If You Have Tight, Aching Hips, It's Time You Get to Know the Iliacus Muscle
The psoas major (/ ˈ s oʊ. ə s / or / ˈ s oʊ. æ s /; from Ancient Greek: ψόᾱ, romanized: psóā, lit. 'muscles of the loins') is a long fusiform muscle located in the lateral lumbar region between the vertebral column and the brim of the lesser pelvis.
The psoas muscle and the iliacus muscle are the strongest hip flexor system in the body, says Charlee Atkins, C.S.C.S., certified personal trainer and founder of Le Sweat.
The summit of the lesser trochanter gives insertion to the tendon of the psoas major muscle and the iliacus muscle; [3] the lesser trochanter represents the principal attachment of the iliopsoas. [ 1 ]
