a prime mover is the main muscle that causes movement. In the case of the hip flexion, the prime mover would be the rectus femoris or the ilopsoas
The gluteus maximus is engaged eccentrically during hip extension when walking up stairs. This means the muscle is lengthening under tension to control the movement of the lower body and support the upward motion of the leg against gravity.
An antagonist muscle reverses the action of a prime mover. When the prime mover contracts to produce a movement, the antagonist muscle relaxes to allow that movement to occur in the opposite direction. This coordination between prime movers and antagonists is essential for controlled and coordinated movement.
The arm of a generator is turned by a prime mover, such as a steam turbine, water turbine, or internal combustion engine. The motion provided by the prime mover is transferred to the armature through a shaft, causing it to rotate within the magnetic field of the stator which generates electricity.
brachialis
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
In the canine: the gluteal muscles (superficial, middle, deep).
Gluteus medius is prime mover.Other abductors are:Gluteus MinimusTensor Fascia Latae (TFL)Sartorius
The prim mover for hip flexion is the Rectus femoris. This is a quadricep muscle that crosses the hip joint.

The Prime Mover was created on 1961-03-24.
A prime mover is a machine which transforms energy to/from thermal or electrical, or pressure from/to mechanical form. Examples of a prime mover are engines or turbines.
The masseter is the prime mover of the jaw closure.
Pronator quadratus is the prime mover in pronation of the hand.
A prime mover is the muscle that has the most influence in one direction on the joint it acts on. For example the prime mover in extension of the forearm is the triceps.
