Lateral rotation
QuestionChoice
The piriformis is labelled. It is a muscle around the gluteal region allowing lateral rotation and lower limb abduction. It originates at the anterior sacral surface and inserts at the greater trochanter of femur. The adductor muscles, gluteal muscles and tensor fascia lata assist with medial rotation and adductor muscles primarily assist in adduction.
