What muscles are involved in knee extension?
The quadriceps muscles are primarily involved in knee extension.
What is the primary function of the knee extension muscle?
The primary function of the knee extension muscle is to straighten the leg by extending the knee joint.
What type of rotation occurs when you perform knee extension?
Knee extension is primarily a sagittal plane movement that involves extension of the knee joint, resulting in straightening of the leg. It does not involve any specific type of rotation.

What are the antagonist muscle used in knee extension?
The antagonists would be those muscles that cause knee flexion. Hamstrings (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendonosis) are the primary knee flexors, and would thus be antagonists to knee extension.
What is a strength exercise?
knee extension
Which of these is a strength exercise?
Knee extension
Which type of of movement bends the knee and brings the lower leg backward?
Extension. Extension increases an angle, as in straightening a joint. During extension, the knee or elbow are straightened.
What is the prime mover for knee extension?
quadraceps
What is the synergist to knee extension?
iliopsoas
Which nerve innervates knee extension?
OBTURATOR
What muscles are used in hip and knee extension?
Hip and knee extension primarily involves the gluteus maximus and the hamstring muscles for hip extension, while the quadriceps are the primary muscles responsible for knee extension. The gluteus maximus helps to extend the hip joint, while the hamstrings facilitate both hip extension and knee flexion. The quadriceps, particularly the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius, are crucial for straightening the knee during extension. Together, these muscle groups work to perform movements such as standing up, walking, and running.
