To the thigh musculature overview To the musculature overview The Musculus semimembranosus (flat tendon muscle) consists of a 5 cm wide and approx. 3 cm thick muscle belly. It originates from the ischial tuberosity with a broad, flat tendon, which gives it its name. However, the muscle develops only below the middle of the thigh, … Musculus semimembranosus
Synonyms Latin: M. sartorius To the thigh musculature overview To the musculature overview Introduction The Tailor muscle (Musculus sartorius) belongs to the group of front thigh muscles. It is about 50 cm long and wraps itself helically around the quadriceps. The muscle has functions in both the hip joint and the knee joint. The force … Tailor Muscle

Quadriceps Tendon The Musculus Quadriceps femoris has many tendons that fulfill different functions. The tendon of the M. rectus femoris begins about 10 cm above the patella. This part of the muscle leads to stretching in the knee joint as well as to flexion in the hip joint. The tendon of the vastus intermedius muscle … Quadriceps Tendon | Quadriceps

Approach, Origin, Innervation Base: Roughness of the anterior tibial tuberosity (Tuberositas tibiae) Origin: Innervation: N. femoralis, L 2 – 4 Straight section: anterior lower iliac spine (spina iliaca anterior inferior) and upper edge of the acetabulum Internal thigh muscle: distal end (away from the body) of the rough line connecting the two trochanteric mounds (intertrochanteric … Approach, Origin, Innervation | Quadriceps
Synonyms german: two-headed thigh muscle, thigh flexor To the thigh musculature overview To the musculature overview The biceps femoris (two-headed thigh muscle) lies on the back of the thigh and belongs to the flexor group (flexor in the knee joint). It is clearly visible and palpable on the outer back of the thigh. – Thigh … Biceps femoris
Kinesio-Tapering Taping of muscles is appropriate for various types of injury. For example, in the case of a pulled muscle in the thigh area, the biceps femoris muscle can be taped. The patient should stand and bend forward with the upper body to tense the biceps femoris muscle. To tap the biceps femoris muscle effectively, … Kinesio-Tapering | Biceps femoris
The adductors serve to bring a body part closer to the body (adduction= to lead, lat. adducere= to lead, to pull). Adductors belong to the group of skeletal muscles. Their antagonists are the abductors, which pull a body part away from the trunk. The adductors of the thigh are divided into three layers. The superficial, … Adductors
Due to its long course, the Musculus Satorius fulfills a function in both the hip joint and the knee joint. Its origin at the hip causes the hip to bend (flex) when the muscle contracts. It can also rotate the thigh outwards in the hip and lift it laterally (abduction). Also in the knee joint, … Musculus sartorius
Training In strength training, M. Sartorius is not necessarily a muscle that is specifically trained. When the leg is bent in the hip, it becomes more active and can therefore develop more strongly during such exercises. Elongation The best way to stretch the tailor muscle is to take a big step forward and lower your … Training | Musculus sartorius
Muscle inflammation Another disease that can affect Sartorius disease is inflammation of the muscles (myositis). Muscle inflammation can be caused by various factors. On the one hand, bacteria or viruses can be the pathogens, but it can also be caused by a muscle injury.All forms of myositis in the affected muscle cause pain. Other symptoms … Muscle inflammation | Musculus sartorius
