EASIEST WAY TO LEARN ANTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF THIGH

THERE ARE 8 MUSCLES WHICH ARE

• ILiacus
• Pectineus

• Quadriceps (3)

         * Vastus medialis

         * Vastus lateralis

         * Vastus intermedius

• Rectus femoris
• Psoas
• Sartorius

* Origin and Insertion table see given below

* Pectineus - Origin : Pubic bone
                     Insertion : Pectineal line of femur
                     Action : Adducts the thigh and flexes the hip joint
                     Innervation : Femoral nerve


* Stretching of quadriceps muscle

• Lie on your side and pull your top leg behind your buttocks. Keep your knees together and push your hips forward. This position can put undue pressure on the knee joint and ligaments, so take care if you have a knee injury.
  

* Stretching of Sartorius muscle

•  Lunge forward with your left foot until your left thigh is near parallel to the ground. Place your hands on top of your left thigh for support. Stay in this stretched position for 15 to 30 seconds and then repeat the stretch with the opposite side.
