The fibers that connect the gluteus along the origin (the sacrum and illium), are those tendon fibers? Or does the muscle connect directly to the bone along the origin?
@@CatalystUniversity Interesting. Thanks much. There seems to be very little/no online sources/literature about upper gluteus maximus tendinopathy in the way that there's loads and loads of sources about upper hamstring tendinopathy. Hence I was wondering if there even was a tendon there at all. And when I asked a physio the other day whether the pain along my sacrum might be some issue with the gluteal tendon, his answer (albeit in a different language) made me think that there wasn't any tendon there.
In medical literature/speak, are there terms to differentiate tendons that all converge on one spot (like the proximal hamstring tendon) vs tendons that spread out along the length of a bone (like, for example, the glutes or the quadratus lumborum)?

This is Amazing! Thank you a lot!!
Great Video!!!!!!!!!!
Great 👍

For all 3 glutes, the origins are more of broad tendons rather than the typical rope-like tendons. But they are still tendons 👍
