Posterior Compartment — Flexor Muscles Blood Supply Innervation Clinical Relevance References Share this concept: Bones and Joints Tibia Medial, weight-bearing bone of the leg Articulates with the femur and fibula proximally and the talus and fibula distally Important landmarks: Tibial condyles:...
Fibula Leg muscles In this page, we will take a look at all of the above as well as the anatomy of the knee.Key facts about the leg and kneeTable quiz Bones of the leg Tibia: the largest and most medial leg bone, forming both the knee and ankle joints. It facilitates weight-bearing...
Factors such as low energy, over training, increased intensity or duration of exercise and exercising in hot, humid environments leads to increased activity in the muscle spindles (the sensory receptors in muscles) and decreased activity in Golgi tendons (which control the tension in a muscle). ...
Gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.Supporting players to the gluteus maximus, these muscles sit above and slightly behind the TFL, and run from the outside of your hip bone to the greater trochanter, the bony protrusion on the outside of your hip. Anytime you push your legs outward under r...

The most dominant contributing factor to the determination of leg compliance was CSA of calf muscle (r = -0.60, P less than 0.06), whereas fat and bone were poor predictors (r = -0.11 and 0.07, respectively). We suggest that leg compliance is less when there is a large muscle mass ...
Explore the anatomy and function of the leg and foot muscles with Innerbody's interactive 3D model.
Discuss how muscles move a bone. What is the relationship between bone and muscles with regard to movement? What are the three major functions of bones in human beings? What is the role and functions of the tarsal plate? What are the four principal functions of...
Anatomy and Function of the Lower Leg The lower leg includes the tibia bone and the fibula bone. They are about the same length, but the tibia is thicker. The tibia bone assists the femur to bear a human's body weight and supports surrounding structures such as muscles, ligaments, tendons...
This study aimed to assess the validity and functional relevance of a standardized procedure to assess lower limb muscle power by means of the 30-s sit-to-stand (STS) test when compared to leg extension power (LEP), traditional STS performance and handgrip strength. A total of 628 community...
