The gluteal group of muscles consists of 3 muscles: Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus. Gluteus is Greek for rump. Maximus is the largest of the muscles and Minimus the smallest. The role of the Gluteus maximus is different from the medius and minimus muscles because of their attachment points.
Gluteus minimus: This muscle originates between the anterior and posterior gluteal lines of the ilium and inserts onto the anterior surface of the greater trochanter of the femur. Itâs innervated by the superior gluteal nerve, and it assists the gluteus medius.
