The thigh muscles are divided into anterior, medial and posterior. The front group is mainly extensors. The medial group is the adductor thigh muscles. To the back - include flexors.
The anterior group includes the tailor muscle, which performs the flexion of the lower leg and thigh and the simultaneous rotation of the thigh outward and lower leg inward. At the same time, throwing feet to feet is carried out. This muscle is included in the category of the longest muscles. It is presented in the form of a narrow long ribbon, starting from the upper part of the iliac spine, located in front. It is attached to the tuberous region of the tibia and to the fascia of the tibia in separate bundles.
The quadriceps is also included in the anterior group. It consists of four heads, during the reduction of which the tibia extends. This largest muscle is located on the anterior lateral femoral plane. In the lower sections, its complete transition to the lateral plane occurs.
The anterior muscles also include the rectus femoris, lateral broad, medial broad, intermediate broad. Their heads, fused, form a common tendon. It is attached to the lateral edges and apex of the patella.
The tension of the knee joint bag is carried out by the articular muscle. It is presented in the form of a thin plate. It is located on the front plane of the thigh under the broad intermediate muscle. Its beginning is located in the anterior portion of the lower third of the bone. It is attached on the side and front plane of the bag of the knee joint.
The medial thigh muscles include the scallop muscle, the flexor and adductor thigh. It also provides its rotation outwards. The muscle is presented in the form of a quadrangular plate. It begins on the upper branch and crest of the pubic bone.
The thin muscle carries out the adduction of the thigh and participates in the flexion of the lower leg, while the leg rotates inward. It is located directly under the skin. It starts from the lower branch of the pubic bone and attaches to the tuberous region of the tibia.
The short, long and large adductors are also referred to the medial group.
The most powerful of them is considered large. She brings the thigh and partly rotates it outwards. It starts from the ischial tubercle and from the lower branch of the pubic bone and from the branch extending from the ischial bone.
The leading short and long thigh muscles are involved in its reduction and outward rotation. The second looks like an irregular triangle and is located on the femoral anteromedial plane. The first is presented in the form of a triangle and starts from the front plane of the lower branch of the pubic bone.
The biceps muscle responsible for the extension of the thigh and flexion of the lower leg is referred to the posterior group. In a bent position, the tibia rotates outward. With the help of the semitendinosus muscle, hip extension, flexion of the lower leg occurs. In a bent position, it participates in the rotation of the lower leg inward. In addition, she is involved in the extension of the body. The semi-membranous muscle is involved in flexion and rotation in the lower leg and extension of the thigh. On the site of the tendon separation into separate bundles is its synovial bag.
Pain in the thigh muscles may result from injuries or injuries. Often they occur after a long load. Pain in the thigh muscles can be both acute and chronic. The causes of its occurrence may be arthrosis, which affects the hip joint, metabolic disorders, rheumatic processes, bone diseases.
Only a specialist can accurately diagnose the cause of pain. In this case, the diagnosis in the early stages can ensure the correct therapy.
