Sartorius.The sartorius is the longest muscle in your body and is involved in flexing your whole thigh. They are also essential for rotating it — a perfect example of this motion is sitting cross-legged on the floor. Hamstrings.The hamstrings are vital to tilting your hip and allow you to...
The femur is the long bone of the thigh and articulates with the pelvis to form the hip joint. Its proximal segment contains prominences for the insertion of many muscles that cause movement across the hip joint. These muscles mainly take origin from the pelvi...
The prevalence rates of DKV in the dominant and non-dominant lower limbs have been reported as 26.3% and 26.9%, respectively [6]. DKV is a combination of hip adduction and internal rotation, knee abduction, anterior tibial displacement, tibia external rotation, and ankle eversion [7]. The ...
During the terminal knee extension exercise, the EMG activities in the VL muscle of the male subjects were higher (p<.05) than in the VMO muscle. For both genders, no significant difference was found in the EMG activities of both muscles during the hip adduction exercise. Our results ...
Known as the glute max for short, this is the largest and strongest muscle in the human body. Basically your butt, the glute max is responsible for hip extension, but some of its fibers are also involved in hip adduction and abduction, as well as external rotation. ...
strength and power, improving your run and sprint performance. This muscle also helps in drawing your thigh toward the midline of your body when your leg is out to the side, or adduction. Including hip flexion, hip adduction and a combination of such movements strengthens your pectineus muscle...
Transverse Hip Adduction.Moving your leg toward the center-line of your body, doing so on a horizontal plane and with your hip joint bent (i.e. the bodyposition– not the movement – is similar to that when reclining in a Lay-Z-Boy). The movement is simply to bring the legs together...
This study was designed to identify the effects of a visual feedback device for hip adduction on trunk muscles and sitting posture when working at a visual display terminal. The forward head and trunk flexion angles of 20 workers were analyzed using a motion analysis system, and the activities...
Which of the following is not involved in adduction of the arm or thigh? A) gracilis B) gluteus maximus C) pectoralis major D) latissimus dorsi Which of the following rotator cuff muscles medially rotates the humerus? a. Infraspi...
The tendon of the reflected head attaches in a groove above the superior rim of the acetabulum and the fibrous capsule of the hip joint. The reflected head may be absent. A 3rd head may be present, attaching to the iliofemoral ligament deeply, and superficially to the gluteus minim...
