Adductor magnus: An emg investigation into proximal and distal portions and direction specific action

Conclusion: This study suggests that adductor magnus has at least two functionally unique regions. Differences were most evident during rotation. The different direction‐specific actions may imply that each segment performs separate roles in hip stability and movement. These findings may have implications on injury prevention and rehabilitation for adductor‐related groin injuries, hamstring strain injury and hip pathology. This article is protected by copyright.
