Anatomy & Functions of the Hip Joint Muscle - Adduction, Abduction, Flexors, & Extensors

The video tutorial covers the anatomy and function of hip movements, focusing on adduction, abduction, flexion, and extension. It explains the muscles involved in each movement, such as the adductors, gluteus medius, iliopsoas, and gluteus maximus, and describes exercises that facilitate these motions. The tutorial also highlights the antagonistic nature of these muscle groups and their roles in different planes of movement.

Which muscle is primarily responsible for hip abduction?

• Gluteus Medius

• Pectineus

• Gracilis

• Adductor Magnus

What is the main function of the hip adductors?

• To move the thigh away from the midline

• To extend the hip

• To flex the hip

• To move the thigh towards the midline

Which muscle is the largest among the hip adductors?

• Adductor Brevis

• Adductor Longus

• Pectineus

• Adductor Magnus

Where does the gluteus medius insert?

• Anterior side of the femur

• Posterior side of the femur

• Lateral aspect of the greater trochanter

• Medial side of the femur

What is the primary role of the iliopsoas muscle group?

• Hip adduction

• Hip flexion

• Hip abduction

• Hip extension

Which muscles are involved in hip flexion?

• Iliopsoas and Pectineus

• Hamstrings and Gracilis

• Adductor Longus and Brevis

• Gluteus Maximus and Minimus

What is the main function of the gluteus maximus?

• Hip extension

• Hip abduction

• Hip adduction

• Hip flexion

Which muscle group contributes to both knee flexion and hip extension?

• Quadriceps

• Hamstrings

• Adductors

• Iliopsoas

Where does the gluteus maximus originate?

• Iliac crest, sacrum, and coccyx

• Greater trochanter

• Lesser trochanter

• Medial side of the femur

Which muscle is not primarily involved in hip extension?

• Adductor Magnus

• Biceps Femoris

• Gluteus Maximus

• Gluteus Minimus
