Learn about different leg muscles and tendons and leg muscle anatomy: leg extensors, posterior leg muscles, extrinsic foot muscles, and intrinsic foot muscles. Related to this Question What is the function of the human foot? What is the function of the human arm?
The framework outlined here suggests that the dynamical interplay between leg structure and neural control may be key to the high walking economy of humans, and has implications as a means to obtain insight into empirically inaccessible features of individual muscle and tendons in biomechanical tasks....

But until now, no one has mapped the body's complex physiology - which inlocomotionincludes multiple leg muscle-tendons crossing the hip, knee and ankle joints, the weight of a body, and control signals from the brain - with the rather simple physics of spring-like limb behavior. ...
The piriformis muscle, which is located in the lower part of the spine, can have spasms and compress the sciatic nerve thus causing low back pain. More aboutpiriformis syndrome. Spinal Tumors and Infections Tumors in the spine or spinal cord, and inflammation in infections, like spinal tuberculo...
This moment arm difference also affected the knee extenser muscle force, will look into in future. Muscle forces are not identical between the converted MuJoCo and Osim models, due to the difference in muscle model definitions (stiff vs elastic tendons). Will investage to implement elastic tendon...
Muscles attach to bone and have tendons that stretch across a joint. When a muscle contracts, the joint moves. Major muscle groups that affect leg movement include the buttocks, the quadriceps(in the front of the thigh), the hamstrings (in the back of the thigh), and the gastrocnemius (in...
recovery process. They also help reduce lactic acid build-up, which is responsible for post-workout soreness and fatigue. Plus, they can break down scar tissue, improving your flexibility and range of motion, and help reduce muscle spasms and cramps. It's like giving your body an extra ...
This is the most obvious cause of leg pain, and is associated with a sports injury or other traumatic event such as an auto accident. Bone fracture and/or muscle, tendon or ligament tears can all instantly happen in an acute traumatic event. Whatever the cause, immediate specialized care is...
