Gluteus minimus #muscle #anatomy 🦵👨‍⚕️ | Dr. Ishtiaque Arafat

The abductor muscles, primarily the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus, originate from the lateral ilium and insert onto the greater trochanter to stabilize the pelvis during movement. Their main function is to abduct the hip and maintain pelvic alignment during gait, especially in the single-leg stance phase. Pathology such as tendinopathy, tears, or weakness can lead to lateral hip pain, Trendelenburg gait, and decreased functional stability. Read: https://wikism.org/Hip_Abductor_Muscles Watch
