  2. Rectus femoris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_femoris_muscle

    In the other extreme, the muscle's ability to flex the hip and extend the knee can be compromised in a position of full hip extension and knee flexion, due to passive insufficiency. The rectus femoris is a direct antagonist to the hamstrings, at the hip and at the knee.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower-limb_walking_pattern

    For instance, if an individual has limited knee extension this could result in a functionally shorter limb affecting kinematics of both the stance and swing limbs. Similarly, a lack of knee flexion could potentially interfere with toe clearance and lead to compensatory patterns at the hip joint such as excessive hip flexion. Limited mobility of ...

  6. Thomas test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_test

    knee extension occurs- tight rectus femoris; Lateral rotation of tibia- tight biceps femoris; The hip flexion contracture is physiologic in the first 3 months of life and if it is absent in this period it may be a sign of developmental dysplasia of the hip. It is used to identify unilateral fixed flexion deformity of the hip. [3]

  7. Muscles of the hip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_the_hip

    The psoas is the primary hip flexor, assisted by the iliacus. The pectineus, the adductors longus, brevis, and magnus, as well as the tensor fasciae latae are also involved in flexion. The gluteus maximus is the main hip extensor, but the inferior portion of the adductor magnus also plays a role. The adductor group is responsible for hip adduction.

  8. Snapping hip syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapping_hip_syndrome

    Stretching the hip into extension and limiting excessive knee flexion avoids placing the rectus femoris in a position of passive insufficiency, thereby maximizing the stretch to the iliopsoas tendon. Strengthening exercises for the hip flexors may also be an appropriate component of the program.

  9. Quadriceps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadriceps

    All four quadriceps are powerful extensors of the knee joint. [1] [4] They are crucial in walking, running, jumping and squatting. Because the rectus femoris attaches to the ilium, it is also a flexor of the hip. [1] [4] This action is also crucial to walking or running, as it swings the leg forward into the ensuing step.
