Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gluteus medius has eccentric functions in all of the listed actions. It restrains/slows adduction of the thigh at the hip joint, which means it controls the lateral movement of the thigh away from the midline. It also restrains/slows flexion and extension of the thigh at the hip joint, which means it controls the movement of the thigh forward and backward. Lastly, it restrains/slows anterior tilt and posterior tilt of the pelvis at the hip joint, which means it controls the movement of the pelvis forward and backward.
