Kinesiology: Hip and pelvic girdle

muscles that perform hip adduction

adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis

Identify hip movements

flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation, diagonal abduction, diagonal adduction

muscles that perform hip abduction

gluteus maximus

medial compartments

Adductor brevis, Adductor longus, Adductor magnus, Pectineus, Gracilis

posterior compartments

Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus

anterior compartments

Rectus femoris, Vastus medialis, Vastus intermedius, Vastus lateralis, Sartorius

why does pelvic rotation help to increase the kicking

a greater distance and speed when kicking

joints and the type of joints

acetabulofemoral (hip) joint: enarthrodial joint sacroiliac joint: amphiarthrodial joint symphysis pubis: amphiarthrodial joint

Identify pelvic girdle movements

anterior pelvic tilt, posterior pelvic tilt, lateral pelvic rotation (left and right), transverse pelvic rotation (right and left)

why is the structure of the hip joint relatively stable

bony structure strong ligaments large, supportive muscles

muscles that perform hip extension

gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus

muscles that perform hip external rotation

gluteus maximus, six deep external rotators

muscles that perform internal rotation

gluteus minimus

what three movements is the sartorius involved in that gives it the name the "tailor's" muscle

hip flexion, hip external rotation, knee flexion

muscles that perform hip flexion

illiopsoas, rectus femoris, pectineus

origin of hamstrings

ischial tuberosity

which three other joints does movement occur during pelvic rotation

lumbar spine and right OR left hip

insertion of quadriceps

patella

In which tight muscle does compression of the sciatic nerve sometimes occur

piriformis

what muscle is important in helping direct the leg forward so the foot is placed straightforward in walking and running

tensor fascia latae (IT Band)
