The legs include the upper leg, knee, lower leg, ankle, and foot. (The hip is part of the trunk of the body as opposed to the leg so that joint and its muscles will not be covered in this lesson) The leg muscles and tendons produce tension, stabilize the joints of the legs, and...
The muscles groups around the knee have an antigravity role and offer knee stabilization during standing position and stability in a variety of different positions. They can be classified based on their anatomic location as well as on their function. The muscles of the thigh and lower leg are c...

The lower leg is also home to nerve fibers, including thesuperficial fibular (or superficial peroneal) nerve, thedeep fibular (or deep peroneal) nerve, and thetibial nerve. The primary muscle in this part of the body is the gastrocnemius, which gives the calf its signature bulging, muscular ...
with sonography, CT, or MRI, depending on the clinical setting. In this chapter, evaluation of knee tendons and muscles focuses on normal anatomy, anatomic variations, the selection of an appropriate cross-sectional imaging technique, and the most common imaging findings after injury and surgery. ...
The present invention relates to a device (10) for stabilizing body joints, muscles and tendons comprising a receptacle body, wherein the receiving body (20) with a dilatant fluid (90) is filled and the receiving body (20) extends in an elongated shape from a first end (21) added a sec...
Foot and ankle anatomy consists of 33 bones, 26 joints and over a hundred muscles, ligaments and tendons. This complex network of structures fit and work together to bear weight, allow movement and provide a stable base for us to stand and move on. The foot needs to be strong and ...
Tendonitis:This injury results from the tendons connecting your quad muscles to your kneecap becoming inflamed and causing thigh pain. Muscles often become irritated when additional pressure is put on them. Sometimes, this can cause a reduction in the mobility of your thigh, knee, and hip. ...
Building muscle in your lower body — or anywhere for that matter — also prevents muscle imbalances and improves the strength of your bones and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments), according to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). This, in turn, helps prevent injuries like fr...
For example, the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis are found in the abdominal region. Some muscles are named after the part of the bone they are attached to. Take tibialis anterior for example, named after the anterior portion of the tibia, a bone in the lower-leg. Origin and ...
