M. Adductor Magnus

Adductor Magnus (Add Mag L)

The M. Adductor Magnus (Adductor Magnus) is a muscle of the hip region. It is responsible for hip adduction, anterior fibers: flexion, posterior fibers: extension and internal 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).
