|
Iliacus
|
O: iliac crest
Iliac fossa Ala of sacrum I: lesser trochanter by way of the iliopsoas tendon N: branches L2-3 from the femoral nerve A: hip flexion (fixed trunk) Flexion of lumbar vertebral column (fixed thigh) |
|
|
Psoas Major
|
O: transverse processes, sides of bodies and intervertebral discs of T12-L5
I: lesser trochanter by way of the iliopsoas tendon N: branches anterior rami of L1-3 A: hip flexion (fixed trunk) Flexion of lumbar vertebral column (fixed thigh) Unil: lateral flexion of vertebral column |
|
|
Rectus Femoris
|
O: anterior inferior iliac spine
groove above the rim of the acetabulum I: quadriceps femoris tendon (base of patella -> via ligamentum patella -> tibial tubercle) N: femoral nerve A: knee extension hip flexion |
|
|
Vastus Medialis
|
O: intertrochanteric line
Medial lip of linea aspera Proximal part of medial supracondylar ridge I: quad femoris tendon (medial border of patella -> via ligamentum patella -> tibial tubercle) N: femoral nerve A: knee extension Medial force on patella keeps it aligned |
|
|
Vastus Lateralis
|
O: intertrochanteric line
Greater trochanter – anterior and inferior borders Gluteal tuberosity Lateral lip of linea aspera I: quad femoris tendon (lateral border of patella -> via ligamentum patella -> tibial tubercle) N: femoral nerve A: knee extension Lateral force on patella |
|
|
Vastus Intermedius
|
O: proximal anterior and lateral surfaces of the shaft of femur
I: ends in aponeurosis which forms deep part of quadriceps femoris tendon N: femoral nerve A: knee extension |
|
|
Articularis Genu
|
O: distal part of the shaft of the femur
I: proximal part of the synovial capsule of the knee joint Walls of the suprapatellar bursa N: femoral nerve A: draws the articular capsule proximally during knee extension |
|
|
Sartorius
|
O: anterior superior iliac spine
I: antero-medial surface of the proximal tibial shaft. Anterior to the insertiosns of the gracilis and semitentinosus at the pes anserinus tendon N: femoral A: flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation of hip, flexion of knee and medial rotation of tibia on the femur |
|
|
Tensor Fascial Lata
|
O: iliac crest (outer lip), anterior superior iliac spine
I: iliotibial tract (band) of the facia lata, which inserts on the lateral condyle of the tibia, capsule of the knee joint, and patella N: superior gluteal nerve A: flexion, abduction, and medial rotation of the hip. Aids in knee stability on lateral side |
