A muscle that originates on the lumbar vertebrae and inserts onto the lesser trochanter and that flexes both the thigh and the vertebral column is the

Rotators. These muscles cross the hip joint, and therefore, they affect movement at that joint. Most of these muscles attach to the femur and cause the thigh to move, depending on exactly where the attachment is located. You will find the lateral rotators deep to the gluteus maximus and inferior to the gluteus minimus. As their group name implies, these muscles laterally rotate, as well as abduct or adduct, the thigh.
