Muscles of the Thigh (Anterior thigh (Flexors of the hip) (Psoas minor…

- - - - Innervation: Anterior rami of lumbar nerves (L1, L2)
        
        Action: Acts conjointly in flexing at hip joint and in stabilizing the joint.
  - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
        
        Action: Act conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing this joint.
  - - - Innervation: Anterior rami of lumbar nerves (L1,L2, L3)
        
        Action: Act conjointly in flexing thigh at hip joint and in stabilizing the joint.
  - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
        
        Action: Flexes, abducts, and laterally rotates thigh at hip joint; flexes leg at knee joint (medially rotating leg when knee is flexed)
  - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2, L3)
        
        Action: Adducts and flexes thigh; assists with medial rotation of thigh
- - - - Innervation: Adductor part; obturator nerve (L2-L4) Hamstring part; tibial part of sciatic nerve (L4)
        
        Action: Adducts thigh, adductor part flexes thigh and hamstring part extends thigh
  - - - Innervation: Obturator nerve (L2, L3)
        
        Action: Adducts thigh; flexes leg; helps rotate leg medially
  - - - Innervation: Obturator nerve and branch of anterior division (L2-L4)
        
        Action: Adducts thigh; to some extent flexes thigh too.
  - - - Innervation: Obturator nerve (L3, L4)
        
        Action: Laterally rotates thigh; steadies head of femur in acetabulum
  - - - Innervation: Obturator nerve and branch of anterior division (L2-L4)
        
        Action: Adducts thigh
- - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2-L4)
        
        Action: Extend leg at the knee joint
  - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2-L4)
        
        Action: Extend leg at the knee joint
  - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2-L4)
        
        Action: Extend leg at the knee; rectus femoris also steadies hip joint and helps ilopsoas flex thigh.
  - - - Innervation: Femoral nerve (L2-L4)
        
        Action: Extend leg at the knee joint
- - - - Innervation: Tibial division of sciatic nerve part of tibia (L5-S2)
        
        Action: Extend thigh, flex leg and rotate it medially when knee is flexed. When thigh and leg are flexed, these muscles can extend trunk.
  - - - Innervation: Long head: tibial division of sciatic nerve (L5-S2) Short head: Common fibular division of sciatic nerve (L5-S2)
        
        Action: Flexes leg and rotates it laterally when knee is flexed, extends thigh (accelerating mass during first step of gait)
  - - - Innervation: Tibial division of sciatic nerve part of tibia (L5-S2)
        
        Action: Extend thigh, flex leg and rotate it medially when knee is flexed. When thigh and leg are flexed, these muscles can extend trunk.
