During walking and running, it stabilizes the pelvis on the femur, preventing the hips from tilting excessively and ensuring a smooth gait.
The is innervated by the posterior division of the obturator nerve (L2–L4). adductor magnus muscle

The adductor magnus arises from the inferior ramus of the pubis , the ramus of the ischium , and the ischial tuberosity . Its fibers insert broadly into the gluteal tuberosity,
Originates from the inferior pubic ramus and the ramus of the ischium. Its fibers insert broadly into the gluteal tuberosity, the linea aspera, and the proximal portion of the medial supracondylar line of the femur.
The adductor magnus is considered a "composite" muscle because it consists of two distinct parts with different origins, insertions, and nerve supplies. : Origin : Inferior pubic ramus and the ramus of the ischium.
