The Iliacus Muscle is a triangular-shaped muscle located in the pelvic region, forming part of the iliopsoas muscle group. Together with the psoas major, it constitutes the iliopsoas, which plays a crucial role in hip flexion and stabilization of the spine. Originating from the iliac fossa of the pelvis, the iliacus muscle travels downward and merges with the psoas major to attach to the lesser trochanter of the femur. This combined action allows the iliopsoas to flex the hip joint, bringing the thigh towards the abdomen. The iliacus muscle is innervated by the femoral nerve and receives blood supply from branches of the iliolumbar artery. It actively participates in activities like walking, running, and climbing stairs, contributing to the dynamic movement of the hip joint. Additionally, the iliopsoas complex plays a role in maintaining posture and providing stability to the lumbar spine. Injuries or strains to the iliacus muscle can occur, often resulting from overuse or sudden, forceful movements. Proper stretching, strengthening exercises, and targeted rehabilitation can help manage and prevent issues related to the iliacus muscle, promoting overall hip health and function.
