C)restrains/slows same-side elevation
D)restrains/slows contralateral rotation

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a muscle crosses the hip joint laterally, it is most likely to restrain/slows same-side elevation of the pelvis at the hip joint. This means that the muscle will resist lifting or raising the same side of the pelvis as it contracts. Option A is incorrect because same-side depression is the opposite of same-side elevation. Option B is incorrect because posterior tilt is a different motion that involves tilting the top of the pelvis backward. Option D is incorrect because contralateral rotation involves twisting the pelvis in the opposite direction of the contracting muscle, which is not an eccentric function of the pelvis at the hip joint.
