Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gluteus medius is primarily responsible for abducting the thigh, which means it moves the leg away from the midline of the body. The gluteus maximus is responsible for extending the thigh and rotating it laterally, while the gluteus minimus assists with abduction but primarily acts to internally rotate the thigh.
