adductor magnus
(For proximal attachments (origin), refer to
the individual muscles.)
Insertion
For distal attachments (insertion) of the
hip adductors, refer to the individual
muscles
Actions
All adduct the hip joint; in addition, the
pectineus, adductor brevis, and adductor
longus flex the hip joint; anterior fibers of
adductor magnus assist in hip flexion
while the posterior fibers assist in
extension. The gracilis also flexes and
medially rotates the knee joint.
