Il
est très puissant et permet la flexion de la cuisse, la rotation
externe et l'abduction. L'association des trois mouvements correspond
à la position 'assis en tailleur'.
The sartorius muscle is a thin, long muscle that is on the front part of the thigh. It is the longest muscle of the human body. It is attached to the superior part of the hipbone (bone of the hip at the level of the waist), down to the tibia (zone called the crow's foot). It winds up diagonally round the thigh. It is very powerful and allows the bending of the thigh, the external rotation and the abduction. The association of the three movements corresponds to the sitting position called 'crossed-legged'. It owes its french name (couturier = dressmaker) to the fact that it had to be sufficiently developed to allow the former tailors to sit on a table, feet crossed. © BODYPLANET 1998 - 2008
