| Gluteus Medius | |
|---|---|
| Muscle Type | |
| Origin | Gluteal surface of ilium, under Gluteus Maximus |
| Insertion | Greater trochanter of the femur |
| Action | Abduction of the hip; preventing adduction of the hip. Medial/internal rotation and flexion of the hip (anterior fibers). Extension and Lateral/external rotation of the hip (posterior fibers) |
| Synergists | Gluteus Minimus, Tensor Fascia Lata, Gluteus Maximus|upper gluteus maximusProperty "Has muscle synergists" (as page type) with input value "Gluteus Maximus|upper gluteus maximus" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process. |
| Antagonists | |
| Spinal innervation | |
| Peripheral Innervation | |
| Vasculature | superior gluteal artery |
