Gluteal muscles

fixed point is at the insertion on the femur, contraction will rotate the pelvis anteriorly[17]. 2.2.2 Psoas This muscle is only muscle group in human body with direct attachment to the spine, the pelvis and the femur. Therefore it has potential to influence, and influenced by movement at both of the spine and hip joints[18]. 2.2.3 Gluteal maximus muscle: superficial group The gluteus maximus muscle is the one of the largest muscle in the gluteal region and it covers most of the other gluteal muscles. It is quadrangular in shape and has a broad origin at the lateral surface of the ilium posterior to the linea glutea posterior, and along the dorsal surface of lower sacrum and the lateral surface of the coccyx to the external surface of the sacrotuberous ligament. There is also attachment to fascia overlying the gluteal medius muscle and between the ilium and sacrum, to fascia covering the erector spinae muscle. It covers diagonally downwards and laterally towards the femur. The upper two thirds and superficial lower part of the muscle radiate more laterally and insert into the posterior aspect of a tendinous thickening of the fascia lata (the iliotibial tract). Fascia lata later inserts laterally at the tibia and fibula. Thus, gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata aid in providing lateral stability to the knee. The action of gluteus maximus muscle is with the pelvis fixed, extension and lateral rotation of the femur and with the femur fixed it will extend the…

is parallel with the body. "At the point when a parallel muscle contracts, it abbreviates and gets bigger in measurement". Extensor digitorum-a lower arm muscle that develops the finger joints is uni-pennate. Flexor carpi Muscles-Allows the wrist to flex and snatch, it is a shaft muscle shape with a long ligament. Transversus abdominis-its umbrella molded and is for stance arrangement and is situated in the stomach. Rectus femoris-Is the muscle that enables the knee to augment. It is…

A muscle tear refers to muscle fibers being damage (Virginia 2013). A tear in the gastrocnemius can cause great risk of injury since the gastrocnemius is located between the knee and ankle joint (Virginia 2013). This can be cause by direct trauma to the calf region or sudden landing on the foot (Medial Head Gastrocnemius 2006). This injury is common in tennis players due to the constant motions of jumping and lunging (Medial Head Gastrocnemius 2006). In the first degree of gastrocnemius tear,…

There is bone checking on cervical, thoracic, vertebrae. These bones are irregular, so they gathered by cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. The gatherings have different measures of vertebras for everyone. The cervical spine aggregate has seven vertebras. The thoracic spine aggregate has twelve. There are five vertebrae's in the lumbar spine. The last section is sacrum, and there is five vertebrae's in the sacrum excluding the three vertebrae's in the coccyx. "Bone markings along the edge of…

Electrical stimulation: Eight self-adhesive 7x13 cm oval carbon electrodes were adhered to the skin over the quadriceps and hamstring muscles (four electrodes per leg). These muscles were selected because of their ease of access, clinical importance, and large size, which we reasoned would yield the greatest potential for altering energy expenditure. The distal margin of the distal quadriceps electrode was placed over the distal-most palpable border of the vastus lateralis. The proximal…

Angles of the Hip Hailey Rubin and Angie Allen Purpose: To analyze the full range of motion of the hip flexion and extension by measuring the joint angles. Methods: We decided to use the Hudl Technique app to film hip in a squatting motion from fully extended to full flexion of the hip. The Technique app made it possible to pause the video, allowing the ability to measure the angle from the top of the Iliac crest to the knee to the ankle. We choose to record in front of the dark doors of the gym…

Tennis is sports that associate with a lot of muscle groups since it involves many movements during a tennis completion. It takes a lot of dedication and determination to become a successful tennis player. The movement of muscle groups can get intense and if done incorrectly, it could destroy their chances of making a career out of the sport. Tennis also requires a high amount of agility, quick reflexes, flexibility and aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. Since there are so many techniques and…

Sport: Female Cheerleading – Basing position Core Exercise: Shoulder Press 1a. Shoulder extension (primary), elbow extension (secondary) 1b. Deltoid (Primary), trapezius (Secondary), levator scapulae (secondary), triceps (secondary) 1c. Rationale: The deltoid is the main muscle used in the shoulder press but to complete this lift properly the upper back muscles must be contracted as the shoulder and elbow extend to raise the bar overhead. In the eccentric phase the elbows and shoulders flex. …

Piriformis syndrome is a condition that can cause pain and numbness in your buttocks and down the back of your leg. Piriformis syndrome happens when the small muscle that connects the base of your spine to your hip (piriformis muscle) presses on the nerve that runs down the back of your leg (sciatic nerve). The piriformis muscle helps your hip rotate and helps bring your leg back and out. It also helps shift your weight while you are walking to keep you stable. The sciatic nerve runs under or…

ANEQ 305 Muscles in Racehorses There are many ways in which researchers can examine muscles of thoroughbred racehorses. They can look at the amount of, and different types of muscle fibers found in thoroughbreds, the muscles ability to adapt to high intensive exercise, the effects from changing the inclination the horse is exercising on, and if age and gender affect the way the muscles react. The thoroughbred horse stems back to a founder stallion that makes up 95% paternal and 9 to 10…
