The psoas is the primary hip flexor, assisted by the iliacus. The pectineus, the adductors longus, brevis, and magnus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae are also involved in flexion. The gluteus maximus is the main hip extensor, but the inferior portion of the adductor magnus also plays a role. The adductor group is responsible for hip adduction.
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. Rectus femoris (part of the quadriceps muscle group) Sartorius; One of the gluteal muscles: Tensor fasciae latae; Medial ...
The iliopsoas is the prime mover of hip flexion, and is the strongest of the hip flexors (others are rectus femoris, sartorius, and tensor fasciae latae). [3] The iliopsoas is important for standing, walking, and running. [2] The iliacus and psoas major perform different actions when postural changes occur.
Tight hip flexors are a surprising but common cause of chronic tension in your hamstrings — the muscles on the backs of your legs that stretch when you bend to touch your toes.
Shallow pain at the front of the hip may be a sign of an injury to your hip flexors (the muscles that allow you to lift your thigh). Deep pain at the front or center of the hip.
The hip flexors also connect to the low back, so if they’re tight, they’ll compromise spinal positioning, which affects posture. Bad posture decreases efficiency and also increases injury risk.
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 relaxed.
