The muscles affecting the pelvic girdle and hip can be divided into two distinct groups:

* '''[[Girdle Musculature]]'''

* '''[[Girdle Musculature - Anatomy & Physiology|Girdle Musculature]]'''

** '''Psoas minor''' - the muscle is marked by many tendinous intersections

** '''Psoas minor''' - the muscle is marked by many tendinous intersections

** '''Iliac muscle''' - a fleshy muscle that is cross-sectionally flat cranially and round caudally. It originates from two heads; a strong lateral head from the wing of the ilium and a small medial one from the ileal shaft. They enclose the '''greater psoas''' and will unite to form a common tendon for insertion.
