sorry, i meant answer is D

  #5

sure it is d? i thought it was a.. superior gluteal nerve supplies the gluteus medius n minimus rt???? :?:

  #6

I think the gluteal muscles are traditionally for "the patient stands on one leg and falls over, cannot keep center of gravity" etc... This question I believe refers to iliopsoas, so ventral rami L1-3 and femoral, so B?

  #7

Inf. gluteal nerve as it supplies Gluteus maximus which is the chief extensor of thigh and involved in Climbing stairs. Iliopsoas is the chief flexor whereas gl. medius and minimi are chief abductors and there injury causes positive tredelenberg's sign

  #8

I think the anwer is B. The femoral N. works to extend the leg, thus let you stand up.

  #9

inferior gluteal nerve-weakness hip extension, patient has difficalty rising from a siting position or climb stairs GLUTEUS NAXIMUS L5: S1: S2
