Hip flexors

In human anatomy, the hip flexors are a group of muscles (including the iliopsoas which passes through the pelvis) that act to flex the femur onto the lumbo-pelvic complex.


 * The hip flexors include:
 * Tensor fasciae latae
 * Sartorius muscle
 * Pectineus muscle
 * Adductor longus muscle
 * Adductor brevis muscle
 * Part of the Quadriceps:
 * Rectus femoris muscle
 * Collectively known as the Iliopsoas:
 * Psoas major muscle
 * Psoas minor muscle
 * Iliacus muscle
 * The muscles also contribute to flexing the lower back onto the pelvis when the pelvis is fixed, or flexing the pelvis onto the lower back when the lower back is fixed.
