The gluteal muscles, including the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus, are primarily responsible for hip - extension. Hip - extension is the movement that straightens the hip joint, such as when walking, running, or rising from a sitting position. They are not mainly responsible for adducting the hip (pulling the leg towards the mid - line of the body), bending the knee, extending the knee, or flexing the knee.
