| Origin
| Insertion
| Action
|
| Psoas Major
| lateral borders of vertebral bodies of T12 -L5
| lesser trochanter of femur
| flexion of thigh at hip; lateral rotation of thigh
|
| Iliacus
| iliac fossa (anterior)
| lesser trochanter
| flexes thigh at hip; lateral rotation of thigh
|
| Gluteus Maximus
| ilium, sacrum, coccyx
| gluteal tuberosity of femur
| extends thigh at hip; laterally rotates thigh
|
| Gluteus Medius
| outer surface of ilium from iliac crest
| lateral surface of greater trochanter
| abducts and rotates femur at hip; pelvic stabilizers
|
| Gluteus minimus
| outer surface of ilium
| anterior border of greater trochanter
| abducts, rotates medially femur at hip; lateral pelvic stabilizer
|
| Tensor Fascia Latae

| iliotibial bandn of fascia
| flexion of thigh at hip;abductgion and medial rotation of femur at hip
|
| Pectineus
| superior surface of pubis
| medial surface of femur inferior to lesser trochanter
| adduction of thigh at hip
|
| Adductor Brevis

|
| posterior fibres
| ischial tuberosity
| medial aspect of femur from lesser trochanter ot above medial condyle of femur
