The Gluteal Region and Posterior Thigh

Reflect the gluteus medius anteriorly and inferiorly from its origin to see the deep branch of the superior gluteal artery and the superior gluteal nerve on the deep surface of the gluteus medius. The nerve and artery lie within the plane of cleavage between the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. Identify the gluteus minimus muscle. Reflect the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus to their insertions upon the greater trochanter. [NOTE: The gluteus medius, minimus and tensor fasciae latae muscle are all innervated by the superior gluteal nerve from L4, 5, S1 - especially L5]

The rationale behind the improved LE neuromuscular control that was observed in this study may be best explained using kinesiological concepts. The gluteus maximus muscle possesses a thick fascial insertion to the iliotibial tract (Shiraishi et al., 2018). During locomotion, the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles and the tensor fascia lata of the stance LE balance the weight of the body, and that of the non-weightbearing LE (Cho et al., 2018; Neumann, 2010). At knee flexion angles less than 30°, the ACL is the primary tibial internal rotation restraint, but at greater knee flexion angles the gluteus maximus and tensor fascia lata muscles provide a synergistic secondary restraint through the iliotibial band (Cibulka and Bennett, 2020; Kaplan and Jazrawi, 2018; Kline et al., 2018; Matsumoto, 1990; Suero et al., 2013) as the gluteus medius muscle helps control frontal and transverse plane pelvis and femoral alignment directly through the hip joint (Neumann, 2010).
