Gluteus Maximus (Origin, Insertion, Innervation)
|
.Origin: Posterior ilium, posterior gluteal line sacrum and coccyx Insertion: Femur (greater trochanter) and Iliotibial band – which goes to the condyle of the tibia Innervation: Inferior gluteal nerve |
.Gluteus medius
|
.Origin: Ilium – between anterior and posterior lines
Insertion: Greater trochanter of femur – lateral side Innervation: Superior gluteal nerve |
Gluteus minimus
|
.Origin:Exterior surface of ilium between the anterior and posterior gluteal lines Insertion: Anterior surface of greater trochanter of femur Innervation: Superior gluteal nerve |
.Tensor fascia latae
|
Origin: ASIS
Insertion: Iliotibial band tissue – which goes to the lateral condyle of the tibia Innervation: Superior gluteal nerve |
Piriformis
|
Origin: Below gluteus medius – on the anterior surface of the sacrum
Insertion: Superior border of the greater trochanter of the femur Innervation: Branches of anterior rami |
.Gemelli (superior and inferior)
|
.Origin: Superior: ischial spine
Inferior: ischial tuberosity
Insertion: Medial side of greater trochanter Innervation: Superior gemellus |
Characteristics of Gemelli
