  Gluteus maximus
The gluteus maximus is the largest of the gluteus muscles which are located in the buttock.
The other gluteus muscles include the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus, collectively the gluteus muscles are commonly known as the gluteal muscles.
The gluteus maximus is often referred to as the "bottom," "butt" or "rear-end" of a person's anatomy.

Gluteus medius is responsible for abduction and medial rotation of the femur at the hip, it also assists the maximus in extension.
The Gluteus Minimus muscle is deep to the gluteus medius and is inaccessible to palpation except for the fibers which attach to the greater trochanter.
The gluteus minimus originates on the posterior ilium, between the middle and inferior gluteal lines and attaches to the surface of the greater trochanter of the femur.

 Gluteus medius and minimus insertion advancement for correction of - Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics
1980 Sep; 62(6): 919-27 The gluteus medius and minimus muscles were transferred in twenty-six patients (forty-two hips) with spastic cerebral palsy.
The transfer of the insertion of these muscles from the greater trochanter to the anterior part of the femur was done to change their function from that of inward rotators to that of outward rotators of the hip.
This procedure is indicated in the patient with spastic cerebral palsy to correct an inward-rotation gait caused by hyperexcitable gluteus medius and minimus muscles.

Aesthetically correlated to the gluteus maximus is the gluteus medius, an expansive radiating muscle, situated on the outer surface of the pelvis.
The large gluteus maximus is made up of 52.4% type I fibers and 47.6% type II fibers, while the gluteus medius and minimus are composed primarily of slow twitch tonic fibers (see: Muscle Fibers Part One).
This energy is opposed by the contraction of the posterior fibers of the gluteus medius, primarily a hip abductor (13, 15).

The gluteus minimus is a smaller muscle located deep and slightly anterior to the gluteus medius muscle.
For example (8), the hip and knee extensors are recruited during both single, and double-leg squats; however, the single-leg squat necessitates greater recruitment from the hip abductors (gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae).
The hip external rotators of the back leg (piriformis; superior and inferior gemellus; obturator internus and externus; quadratus femoris; gluteus maximus; and adductor longus, brevis, and magnus) contract eccentrically to control hip internal rotation as the knee is flexed toward the floor and are activated concentrically during the upward phase to the starting position (4).

 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Quick Solutions for Iliotibial Band Syndrome
The ITB is considered a continuation of the tendinous portion of the tensor fascia lata muscle and is indirectly attached to parts of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, and the vastus lateralis muscles.
Though the gluteus medius and tensor fascia lata are both hip abductors, the gluteus medius (especially the posterior aspect) externally rotates the hip, whereas the tensor fascia lata internally rotates the hip (16).
Consequently, fatigued runners or those who have a weak gluteus medius are prone to increased thigh adduction and internal rotation at midstance, leading to an increased valgus vector at the knee.

The hip abductors are the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
Attached to your pelvis and the top of your thighbone, the gluteus medius - with the assistance of your gluteus minimus, located under it - moves your leg out, away from the center of your body.

 Clinical Case - Hip & Posterior Thigh
The muscles affected are the gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae.
This nerve originates from the ventral rami of L4, L5, and S1 in the sacral plexus, leaves the pelvis through the upper part of the greater sciatic foramen above the piriformis muscle, and then runs forward between the gluteus medius and minimus in the superomedial quadrant of the buttock.
It occurs when the nerve supply to the abductors of the thigh (gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae) is disrupted due to injury or disease (i.e.

 Gluteus Maximus Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
he gluteal group is composed of three separate muscles: the gluteus minimus, medius and maximus.
The first two are smaller, deep-seated muscles that allow for the inward rotation of the femur (the bone between the pelvis and knee) and the outward movement of the legs away from your body—both get a lot of work when you walk or run.
verlying these smaller muscles is the gluteus maximus, which allows your leg to extend behind you and permits outward rotation of the femur.
