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.

Why tensor fascia lata muscle given this name?

The tensor fascia lata (TFL) muscle is named for its function and anatomical relationship. "Tensor" refers to its role in tensing the fascia, specifically the iliotibial band, which runs along the outer thigh. "Fascia lata" translates to "wide band," indicating the broad connective tissue that the muscle influences. Together, the name reflects both the muscle's action and its association with the surrounding fascia.
