Anatomy & Physiology: Muscles—Adductor Magnus.
Structure.
- Anterior Fibers/Head
- Origin: ischial ramus of pelvis.
- Insertion: linea aspera of femur.
- Posterior Fibers/Head
- Origin: ischial tuberosity.
- Insertion: adductor tubercle of femur.
Function.
- Concentric action: accelerates hip adduction, flexion, and internal/medial rotation. Lesser: thigh flexion and media rotation.
- Reverse mover action: posterior and anterior tilt pelvis; ipsilateral elevation and rotation of pelvis.
- Eccentric action: decelerates hip abduction, extension, and external/lateral rotation.
- Isometric action: stabilization of lumbo-pelvic hip complex.
- Innervation: obturator and sciatic nerves.
- Arterial supply: Anterior—femoral artery, deep femoral artery, obturator artery. Posterior—deep femoral artery, obturator artery.
