FOUR HIP MUSCLE GROUPS: 1. The Abductors This group of muscles works on the outside of the hip and thigh to move the leg out or away from the mid-line of the body. The hip abductors consist of the:piriformis, external and internal obturators and the superior and inferior gemelli. ...
Background: The hip abductors (HAB), quadriceps (Q) and hamstrings (H) reciprocal strength ratios are predictors of electromyography (EMG) amplitude during load carrying walking at moderate intensity. Therefore, these strength ratios might predict also the EMG during the exercises as wal...
Additionally, biceps femoris can act as the external rotator of the leg when the knee is semi flexed or internal rotator of the thigh if the foot is fixed on the surface. Start with the anatomy of the hip and thigh muscles by exploring our videos, quizzes, labeled diagrams, and ...
