What inability to extend the leg would result from a loss of function?
An inability to extend the leg could result from a loss of function in the quadriceps muscle group, which is primarily responsible for knee extension. This loss of function could be due to nerve damage, muscle injury, or conditions affecting the neuromuscular junction. Additionally, issues in the patellar tendon or surrounding ligaments could also impede the leg's ability to extend fully. Overall, the inability to extend the leg indicates a disruption in the normal motor function of the lower limb.
