The Structure of the Adductors.
The adductors constitute a muscle group located on the inner thigh, responsible for hip adduction, i.e., bringing the thigh closer to the midline of the body. They consist of the adductor magnus, short adductor muscles, and long adductor muscle.
The magnus and short adductors
The adductor magnus is the largest and most powerful among the adductor muscles.
The short adductor muscles include the adductor brevis and adductor longus.
They originate from the pubic bone near the groin area and attach to the posterior part of the femur. They also contribute to hip stabilization.
Both the adductor magnus and short adductor muscles are responsible for thigh adduction, involving the movement of bringing the thigh closer to the midline of the body. They also contribute to hip stabilization.
The long adductor
The long adductor muscle is the deepest among the adductor muscles and is located beneath the other muscles in this group.
It originates from the pubic bone near the groin area and attaches to the medial part of the femur.
It plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and stability of the hip during walking and other activities.
