What muscles worked on in hip abduction?
The gluteus medius muscle is the primary muscle(major abductor) responsible for the hip abduction, with the Gluteus Minimus assisting. The synergist muscles are the psoas, piriformis, Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL), quadratus lumborum and rectus femoris. The muscles acting in the hip abduction are: 1) Gluteus Medius 2) Gluteus Minimum 3) Tensor Fascia Latae (TFL) 4) Sartorius Hip abduction is one of the movements of the hip joint. From anatomical position with the knee forward, the whole leg is lifted literally away from the body. An increase in the range of movement is actually movement in the spine rather than in the hip joint. Selected Exercises are : side-lying leg raises, walking and running.

What muscle is unique in that its insertion is to fascia rather than to bone?
The tensor faciae latae It arises from the posterior part of the outer lip of the iliac crest; from the outer surface of the anterior superior iliac spine, and part of the outer border of the notch below it, between the gluteus medius and sartorius; and from the deep surface of the fascia lata. It is inserted between the two layers of the iliotibial band of the fascia lata about the junction of the middle and upper thirds of the thigh.
