What is the Gemellus superior muscle?

What is the Gemellus superior muscle?

Gemellus superior is a small muscle in the posterio-latereal portion of the hip. It works with gemellus inferior and obturator internus, to form the triceps coxae, to externally rotate the hip. These three muscles also act as the deep stabilisers of the hip.

Where is the Gemellus muscle?

Superior gemellus is a small muscle located deep in the posterior pelvis. Sitting underneath larger muscles of the hip and thigh, specifically to gluteus maximus, it belongs to the group of deep gluteal muscles.

How do you stretch the Gemellus muscle?

To perform this stretch, kneel and step back with the left leg while bending the right knee. Bend forward and place the hands onto the floor with the elbows to the outside of the right knee. Push the left leg straight out and drop the hips while working to balance on the ball of the left foot.

What nerve innervates the superior Gemellus?

Innervation. The superior gemellus muscle is innervated by the nerve to obturator internus (L5, S1, S2), a branch of the sacral plexus.

Where does piriformis insertion?

The piriformis muscle originates at the internal surface of the sacrum and inserts at the superior border of the trochanter of the femur. It functions in helping lateral rotation of the hip joint, abducting the thigh when the hip is flexed, and assisting stability of the head of the femur in the acetabulum.

What is the Pectineus muscle?

The pectineus muscle is the most anterior dductor of the hip. It can be classified in the medial compartment of thigh(when the function is emphasized) or the anterior compartment of thigh (when the nerve is emphasized).

What does the inferior Gemellus muscle do?

Inferior gemellus muscle acts on the hip joint, causing two major movements. When the thigh is in an anatomical position, it pulls the greater trochanter of femur posteriorly, around the bone’s longitudinal axis, causing external (lateral) rotation of the thigh.

How do you stretch your piriformis muscle?

What causes obturator internus pain?

The obturator internus can become tensioned or spasmed from overworking, muscle imbalances, injuries, and postural changes. Some symptoms of obturator internus muscle tension include: Hips that feel tight and your feet always seem to be rotated out. Lateral hip pain, can be mistaken for IT band syndrome/bursitis.

What tendon inserts on the greater trochanter?

The piriformis tendon attaches to a fossa on the medial aspect of the greater trochanter—this is the landmark for accessing the femoral canal.
