The thigh has some of the largest muscles in the human body. The medial thigh muscles are essential for normal gait and lower extremity functioning. The medial thigh muscles mainly allow for adduction of the leg. Weak adductor muscles can create knee instability and increase the risk of an adductor strain.[1] The medial thigh muscles also protect important neurovascular structures as they pass from the proximal hip joint to the knee and lower leg.
