pohjelihasryhmän

Pohjelihasryhmän is a medical term used to describe a group of muscles in the lower extremities that originate from the pelvis. These muscles play a crucial role in hip and lower limb movement.

The muscles classified as part of the pohjelihasryhmän include the iliopsoas, psoas major, and psoas minor. These muscles attach to the femur and lumbar vertebrae, facilitating movement such as flexion and external rotation of the hip. The pohjelihasryhmän is essential for weight-bearing activities, such as walking and running, and is also involved in maintaining posture.

Dysfunction or imbalance within this muscle group can contribute to various musculoskeletal disorders, including lower back pain and hip instability. In turn, this can lead to issues such as reduced mobility and compromised athletic performance.

Treatment for pohjelihasryhmän-related issues often involves manual therapy techniques, such as massage and osteopathic manipulations, aimed at restoring proper muscle balance and reducing muscle tension. Exercise programs and physical therapy can also be beneficial in strengthening weakened muscles and improving hip stability.
