Mechanical effects:
moving displaced organs, softening fascia/adhesions, making tissue more pliable, movement of blood and lymph
-
Rectus FemorisÂ
A:
O:
- ~flex and the hip, extend at the knee
- ~AIIS
-
Muscles that insert on the mastoid process:
- SCM
- Splenius Capitus
- Longissimus Capitus
-
-
Ipsilateral Rotators:
- Splenius Capitus
- Longissimus Capitus
-
Hamstrings; medial to lateral
- semimembranosus
- semitendinosus
- biceps femoris
-
Hamstrings A=
- flexion at the knee
- extension at the hip
-
Hamstrings I=
Ischial Tuberosity
-
Bilateral (A) of SCM
flexion of the head
-
Gluteus Maximus
I=
A=
- I= IT Band
- A= extension and lateral rotation, as in: climbing stairs, initiating walking, standing up
-
Deep 6 Lateral Rotators:
- piriformis (sciatica)
- quadratus femoris (does not abduct and does not insert on the greater trochanter)
-
Adductor MagnusÂ
A=
(also known as)
A= front flexion, back extension
AKA: 4th hamstring, due to referring pain to ischial tuberosity
-
All adductors
A=
Flex thigh at hip joint and adduct
-
I and A of Iliacus and Psoas
- I=lesser trochanter
- A= flex trunk as in "v-ups"
