Adductors & Hip Flexors/Extensors Graph: Video #15 or Introduction to Functional Anatomy

Adductors, peanut butter leaves me greasy. What? What did he just say? My favorite acronym in all of anatomy, peanut butter leaves me greasy. Pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor Magnus and gracilis. These are more or less in order of attachment on the femur to. Till here and then its attachment on the tibia, but you guys get what I'm saying. So the adductors kind of go like this, they kind of splay out, each one getting a little longer than the last one, as you can kind of see in this picture. Anybody have a dog, have you ever fed a dog peanut butter? So I had this dog growing up named Amigo he was a great dog, he was a 40-pound rich Chihuahua. No I know that would be a monster Chihuahua. Dingo is my only monster Chihuahua, 22 pounds. He was a, Amigo was a retriever lab mix with one ear up and one ear down all the time, super super cute dog. But I had this thing when I was in high school, he used to love to come home and have peanut butter on a bagel. Has anybody ever had peanut butter on a bagel, delicious, delicious. Super high in calories too, which is probably why I enjoyed it so much as I was growing a lot in high school right. But amigo would always beg for the peanut butter, always beg for the peanut butter, so what did i do? You know exactly what I did. I did the nicest and meanest saying I could ever do to amigo, I took a big finger full of peanut butter, right behind his teeth; because what did it do? He walks away with his tail wagging, like 20 minutes later tail not so wagging anymore, still sucking on the back of his teeth, and my when, as soon as I saw peanut butter leaves me greasy, I don't remember where I got this, that was the first thing I thought of, is poor Amigos greasy little mouth and I'm trying to get that peanut butter out of his back teeth. He was happy for most of it, it was just at the end he would start getting a little annoyed. Alright so hopefully that helps you guys remember your five - pectineus, brevis, longus, Magnus, gracilis, adductors; and if you remember them in this order, it does become a little helpful to remember which ones do what actions. So being that these are called the adductors, what do we think they probably do? I'm going to guess a adduction, just a thought. I don't have a pelvis over there, oh I do have a pelvis over here. This is your pelvis alright, and then this pelvis is broken too, it's got a lot of broken bones around here alright. So can you guys see how the pubis for the most part lies in front of the hip, guess where most of the adductors start, pubis right so they all go from pubis to femur; which means they'll probably contribute to a little bit of what? Good call, as well as a little bit of flexion right, because they're in front of the hip. So they'll contribute a little bit flexion, a little bit to internal rotation, as well as a whole lot to adduction. Have a spine. So we start there, this is what the adductors do, all of them, I guess I'll write down a little nicer, but we have a couple with some special functions. the gracilis is the only adductor to cross the knee, all right and it crosses behind the knee and attaches to the inside of the tibia. So other than these the gracilis will also contribute to what? If it goes behind the knee then it contributes to? Knee flexion. If attaches to the inside of the tibia? Tibial internal rotation. Nice job, we only have one more addition to this. And it's the muscles so big we literally have to divide it in two. Magnus means big right, like that's what that word means. Anybody watch the strongman competitions? You guys remember Magnus Ver Magnuson. I'm like really, your name is big ver son of big. That's literally what your name translates to, and you're a strongman competitor, go figure right. But you're adductor Magnus is kind of the same thing, it's huge. So I talked about most of your adductors attached to your pubis. This is your ischium right, you're adductor Magnus is so big it goes from pubis to ischial tuberosity. So you have a group of fibers that run in front of the hip, and then a posterior head that actually runs behind the hip right, you guys with me. So the anterior portion of the adductor Magnus we're fine with, however we have to make like a note here that the posterior adductor Magnus if it goes behind the hip, what is it going to contribute to? Extension and external rotation, is it still going to contribute to adduction? Yes it's an adductor, fair enough. Has anybody ever felt there aductor Magnus before, soreness. This is actually a very common place, we'll talk about it a little bit when we get to postural dysfunction; where somebody will do leg workouts and they'll continuously get sore and like the back of their inner thigh, not their glute the back of their inner thigh, and what that generally means is they're adductor Magnuss is working harder than it should, and who's not working as hard as they should, the glutes exactly. Alright flexors and extensors of the hip. Alright so hip flexion and extension, who does flexion? Who else does flexion? Psoas, iliacus, TFL, rectus femoris, glute min nice call, adductors everybody except posterior head of addductor magnus which goes over here. Alright who else does extension, who's the big one? Glute Max. You're going to have to name those. So I'm going to end in fact let's break it all the way down hamstrings, medial are, here's what I hear from you guys it's like semitendinosis, so that's semi tendinosis, semimembranosus and then who's my lateral? Biceps femoris. For another exciting graph, oh maybe not that far, but hip internal rotators? TFL good call, gluteus minimus, not medius, adductors, medial hamstrings good, pectineus is part of this adductors right. So this is PBLMG -pectineus. What was that? Anterior, yeah that would be here, which means if anterior Magnus as well as all the other adductors are here, who's here? Posterior. Yeah let's let's just leave piriformis as an external rotator, that's kind of like somebody said gluteus medius, well technically gluteus medius has anterior and posterior fibers and the anterior fibers do internal rotation, what we need to worry about is the posterior fibers that get weak, and our external rotators and are probably in need of a little work. Medial hamstrings all right so lets name those -semimembranosus, semitendinosus. Good if psoas is up here, who else should be iliacus? Who are we missing? Biceps femoris. Yeah if you really want to get technical somebody said it's the long head of the biceps femoris, I heard somebody started. Yeah so the deep rotators would go on this side which is actually piriformis, gemellus superior and gemellus inferior, obturator internus and externus, quadratus femoris. Yeah you got it in your notes. Glute max good call. We'll also put glute medius, sartorius where does sartorius go? It does. Nice job guys.
