M. Adductor Longus

Adductor Longus (Add Long R)

The M. Adductor Longus (Adductor Longus) is a muscle of the hip region. It is responsible for hip adduction, flexion and external rotation. This muscle is not covered by the official SENIAM catalogue — placement is based on established clinical literature. This page documents the exact electrode position, anatomical attachments and a standardized test movement based on Hermens et al. (2000).

Anatomy

Origin Superior ramus of the pubis, ventral to the symphysis Insertion Linea aspera of the femur (middle third)

Test Movement

Thigh adduction in side-lying against resistance

This muscle has no SENIAM-standardized electrode position. Placement should be based on anatomical knowledge.
