A member asked:
What are the butt muscles used for; which movement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Everything: Your butt muscles or "glutes" are made up of three main muscles. They are important for everything related to standing, sitting, running, jumping, climbing and walking. Here are the main functions: gluteus maximus: hip flexion and extension, gluteus medius: sacrum stability. Gluteus minimus: tilting or tucking pelvis. That's a quick overview for you. Be well.
