Muscles moving the HIP

Muscle S/D Origin Insertion Action

Rectus Femoris S Anterior inferior iliac Tibial tuberosity via Extension at knee;
spine and superior patellar ligament flexion at hip
acetabular rim of ilium

Iliopsoas D Inner surface of the Lesser trochanter of Flexion of the hip,

Ilium. Base of the the femur. Lateral rotation of the
sacrum. Sides of the hip, Flexes torso when
bodies of T12-L5. the legs are fixed (e.g.
laying to sitting).
