Looking at the piriformis muscle. Where is the origin and insertion?
O = sacrum, I = femur
O = femur, I = sacrum
O = sacrum, I = ilium of hip
O = femur, I = coccyx
Based on the Piriformis muscle origin and insertion, what would best fit the action?
*hint: think of the mechanics, like a puppet master of the body pulling on strings?
A = adducts the femur
A = abducts the femur
A = extend the femur
A = flex the femur
The sciatic nerve runs under the piriformis muscle. Sometimes when inflamed can squeeze the nerve and cause pain where?
*hint: think about where the nerve leads to?
Abdominal
Upper and Lower leg
Lumbar of the lower back
Tensor fasciae latae!!!?
How ready do you feel for the quiz next class?
Not at all, time to study.
Somewhat, things are looking familiar.
Ready as I'll be~
Time to dominate!!!
