Muscles that cross the hip joint anteriorly and have vertically oriented fibers primarily function in hip flexion. When acting eccentrically, these muscles control the opposite motion, which is hip extension or posterior tilt of the pelvis. Thus, they help to restrain or slow down the posterior tilt of the pelvis.
