Muscles and movement of Glute & Lower legs By Arjun
What is the function of our leg muscles? our leg muscles help you move, carry the weight of your body and support you when you stand . You have several muscles in your upper and lower legs. They work together to enable you to walk, run, jump and flex and point your feet.
We can divided our leg muscles into two parts Upper legs Lower legs
Which muscles are in the upper leg? psoas major iliacus sartorius tensor fasciae latae rectus femora's vastus medialis vastus lateralis vastus intermedius gluteus muximus gluteus medius gluteus minimus piriformis superior gemellus obturator internus inferior gemellus quadratus femoris biceps femoris semitendinosus semimembranosus little peice of semimembranosus adductor magnus gracilis adductor longus pectineus
Which muscles are in the Lower legs? tibialis anterior extensor digitorum longus fibularis brevis fibularis longus gastrocnemius lateral head of gastrocnemius medial head of gastrocnemius plantaris soleus popliteus flexor hallucis longus tibialis posterior flexor digitorum longus
Muscles of gluteal (SUPERFICIAL) region the gluteus maximus here is a pretty big muscle and what it helps to do extension at the hip joint. And it also does lateral rotation at the hip joints. the gluteus medius When I take the gluteus maximus off, underneath you can see the gluteus medius muscle and the gluteus medius does abduction of hip. gluteus minimus underneath the gluteus medius and it also does abduction at the hip joint .
Exercises for gluteal (Superficial) region Back squat lateral band walk RDL Hip thrust
Muscles of gluteal (Deep) region Piriformis Gemelli - origin- outer (gluteal) surface of the ischial spine of the bony pelvis. Insertion- greater trochanter of the femur. Obturator internus - origin - Inner surface of the sidewall of the pelvis. Insertion -Mid. surface of the greater Trochanter. quadratus femoris – origin -Lateral border of the ischial Tuberosity . Insertion- intertrochanteric crest These guys are lateral rotators, you can see a whole bunch of these lateral rotators underneath. T hey are all synergists to each other.
Exercises For gluteal muscles( Deep) Region Fire hydrant clamshell Hip 90 -90 pigeon stretch
Muscles of Anterior Compartment of the lower leg tibialis anterior He does dorsiflexion at the ankle. So he helps to point the toes up And he also does inversion of the ankle. extensor digitorum longus He has three functions, extends the digits and everything of the tibialis anterior does Dorsey flexion. So he points the toes up to the ceiling and inversion of the ankle points, the sole of the foot inwards Extensor hallucis long dorsiflex the ankle and extend the toes.
Exercises for Anterior Compartment of the lower leg reverse calf raises wall toe raises Banded tibialis raises Calf stretch
Muscles of Lateral Compartment of the leg Peroneus Longus or you can also call the Fibularis longest Peroneus brevis or you can also call the Fibularis brevis. these guys do what’s called E version of the ankle. if you think about it, these guys do E version of the ankle they’re antagonist to the extensor digitorum longus Andy tibialis anterior who do inversion.
Muscles of Posterior Compartment of the leg (SUPERFICIAL) gastrocnemius , this whole muscle right here. But there’s two heads, the lateral head and the medial head, and these guys do planter reflection. Plantaris It comes right off this top of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius. Its helps to do flexion at the need, unlock the joint and it also does planter flexion. Soleus underneath the gastrocnemius. the soleus also does plantar flexion. calcaneal tendon This the connective tissue.
Muscles of Posterior Compartment of the leg (DEEP) Popliteus Flexion of leg at knee joint & unlocking the joint by lateral rotation of femur on tibia. origin - Lower lateral edge of the femur. Insertion- Posterior surface of the tibia. Tibialis Posterior he helps to again do plantar flexion and inversion at the ankle. Origin - Posterior surface of the tibia and fibula. Insertion- Navicular and medial cuneiform bone.
Flexor Digitorum longus flexes the digits. He does inversion of the ankle and he also does plantar Flexion Origin - Posterior surface of the tibia. Insertion- Phalanges of second through fifth toes (the big toe is the first toe). flexor Hallucis longus flexes the hallex or the big toe. Origin- Middle half of posterior fibula. Insertion- First toe (big toe).
SECOND HEART OF THE BODY By Monica Almendras and Erik Peper , PhD, BCB San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA Sitting or standing without moving the leg muscles puts additional stress on your heart, as blood and lymph pool in the legs. Tightening and relaxing the calf muscles can prevent the pooling of the blood. The inactivity of the calf muscles does not allow the blood to flow upward and may result in ‘‘sitting disease,’’ contributing to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Activating the calf muscles as well as other leg muscles are strategies to support cardiovascular health. Thus, the calf muscles are sometimes called ‘‘our second heart.’’ The important function of our ‘‘second heart’’ is to act as a pump to return venous blood and lymph fluids upward, which can occur only when we interrupt sitting with many brief exercises by frequently standing up during the day. Suggestions regarding how to implement short breaks are included. Note that, medically, the term second heart refers to the cisterna chyli , which brings the lymphatic fluids up from the abdomen; however, in this article, second heart is used in a common popular sense of the term as the description of the calf muscle to pump the venous blood toward the heart.
