The structure, function, and biomechanics of the three muscles of the hamstring and four muscles of the quadriceps will be discussed in detail. In addition to reviewing the normal anatomy, the most common pathologic conditions will be introduced so that the pathophysiology and treatment of these ...

They also work with the various buttock, thigh and calf muscles to help control the hip and foot. When we think about the muscles of the knee, the ones that usually spring to mind are the quadriceps and the hamstrings but there are other muscles around the knee that are just as important...
Hamstring Muscles. The hamstring muscles, also known as the rear thighs, make up the backside of the upper leg anatomy. Like the quadriceps, the hamstring muscle group also contains four separate muscles: Biceps Femoris (Long Head) Biceps Femoris (Short Head) ...
There are three hamstring muscles, all of which originate at the ischial tuberosity (the bones you sit on): Biceps femoris.This muscle runs along the outside of the back of your thigh and attaches to the top of the fibula (the smaller of the two bones of your lower leg). ...

Knee joint anatomy involves looking at each of the different structures in and around the knee. The knee joint is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the human body. There are various muscles that control movement, ligaments that give stability, special cartilage to absorb ...
The muscle may end at the attachment point, but the fascia continues along its way through the ECM, linking up to other muscles in chains - a bit like a set of sausage links. The Anatomy Trains con- cept maps out these sets of sausage links within the body - follow- ing the grain ...
