What else can I help you with?
Is gluteus medius antagonist to gluteus maximus?
Yes, the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus are both muscles in the gluteal region, but they serve different functions. The gluteus medius primarily functions to abduct the thigh, while the gluteus maximus functions to extend and externally rotate the hip joint. They can work synergistically or as antagonists depending on the specific movement being performed.
What is the agonist for the gluteus medius?
The gluteus medius is an agonist for the lateral rotator group The gluteus medius is responsible forward propulsion and balance.

What is the muscle that holds the gluteus maximus called?
Gluteus Medius
What are the two muscles that rotate the thigh?

What 2 muscles abduct the thigh?
gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus
What is the icd code for gluteus medius tear?
846.8
What are the key differences between the gluteus medius and minimus muscles in terms of their functions and roles in the human body?
The gluteus medius and minimus muscles are both located in the buttocks and play important roles in stabilizing the pelvis and supporting hip movement. The gluteus medius is larger and primarily responsible for abduction (moving the leg away from the body) and rotation of the hip. The gluteus minimus is smaller and assists in these movements, as well as helping to stabilize the pelvis during walking and running. Both muscles work together to provide stability and support during various movements, but the gluteus medius is generally more involved in larger movements while the gluteus minimus plays a more supportive role.
