Adult leg muscle that originates at the distal end of the coxa, on the opposite surface to the trochanter levator muscle, and attaches to the trochanter, in a similar position to the trochanter levator tendon (Soler et al., 2004; Azevedo et al., 2024). It flexes the coxa-trochanter joint (Azevedo et al., 2024). It is composed of 3 fibers (Soler et al., 2004).

Adult Muscle
Adult leg muscle that originates at the distal end of the coxa, on the opposite surface to the trochanter levator muscle, and attaches to the trochanter, in a similar position to the trochanter levator tendon (Soler et al., 2004; Azevedo et al., 2024). It flexes the coxa-trochanter joint (Azevedo et al., 2024). It is composed of 3 fibers (Soler et al., 2004).
Referred to as 'trochanter reductor' by Soler et al. (2004), but proposed to flex the coxa-trochanter joint by Azevedo et al. (2024), i.e. is a levator muscle.
