Function The muscle iliopsaos acts as an antagonist of the abdominal muscles and buttock muscles and is the strong flexor in the hip joint. It is responsible for raising the upper body in the supine position (throw-in in soccer). The M. iliopsos is the most important muscle in running, walking and jumping, bringing the leg … Function | Lumbar iliac muscle (Musculus iliopsoas)
Abbreviation Athletes in whom the actual fibers and/or the tendon of the iliopsoas muscle are shortened experience significant movement restrictions in addition to the typical pain. Running is often hindered by the fact that the flexion of the hip joint is severely restricted. The pain caused by the shortened muscle also restricts athletic performance. Once … Abbreviation | Lumbar iliac muscle (Musculus iliopsoas)
Tapering of the M. iliopsoas A tape bandage is used in sports medicine, orthopedics and accident surgery both for prevention and therapy. It is a functional bandage that does not completely immobilize injured or endangered ligaments, joints and muscles, but merely prevents undesired movements. The effect is based, among other things, on the fact that … Tapering of the M. iliopsoas | Lumbar iliac muscle (Musculus iliopsoas)
Function of the M. iliopsoas The large M. iliopsoas generally acts as an antagonist of the abdominal and gluteal muscles. The main function of the iliopsoas muscle in this context is the flexion of the hip joint. It also performs an important function in straightening the upper body from a supine position. The movement performed … Function of the M. iliopsoas | Lumbar iliac muscle (Musculus iliopsoas)
Iliopsoa training with the expander The lumbar iliopsoas muscle (M. iliopsoas) is one of the most important muscles of our body and takes over the function of bending in the hip joint, and thus lifting the leg while walking. Elderly people often suffer from atrophied lumbar muscle and as a result have difficulty climbing stairs. … Iliopsoa training with the expander | Lumbar iliac muscle (Musculus iliopsoas)
Introduction The patellar tendon is a rough ligament that leads from the kneecap (patella) to a rough elevation (tuberositas tibiae) at the front of the shin bone (tibia). The band is about six millimeters thick and five centimeters long. The patellar tendon is an extension of the attachment tendon of the quadriceps femoris muscle and … Patella tendon
Inflammation of the patella tendon A detailed anamnesis (patient interview) with special attention to sports and occupational stress can play an important role in the diagnosis of patellar tendon disease. An examination of the knee can then trigger a pressure pain at the lower edge of the patella. Pain when the knee is stretched against … Inflammation of the patella tendon | Patella tendon
Extreme case of torn patella tendon A tear of the patella tendon usually occurs at an advanced age, when the tendon is already damaged by wear and tear. Typically, the trigger is considered to be heavy loads in the bent knee, such as jumping from an elevation when carrying heavy loads (for example, when unloading … Extreme case of torn patella tendon | Patella tendon

The muscle Quadriceps femoris is, as the name suggests, a muscle that is composed of four other muscles. Its physiological cross-section is over 180 cm2 and weighs … 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
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
What is the patellar tendon reflex? The patellar tendon reflex (PSR) or “knee-cap reflex” is a reflex of its own that is frequently used in everyday clinical practice. This reflex is triggered by a light blow with the reflex hammer on the ligamentum patellae, a broad and strong ligament just below the patella, which represents … Patellar Tendon Reflex
