Examples of passive insufficiency?
In the hamstrings, passive insufficiency occurs when the muscle is unable to fully elongate because the knee is extended and the hip is flexed. In the quadriceps, passive insufficiency happens when the muscle is unable to fully elongate because the knee is flexed and the hip is extended. In the gastrocnemius, passive insufficiency occurs when the muscle is unable to fully elongate because the ankle is dorsiflexed.
Which knee muscle is a hip flexor?
rectus femoris
What Assist in flexing and rotation of hip and flexion of the knee?
If you are looking for the answer of what assists all of those movements at the same time, the answer would be the Gluteus Medius and Minimus muscles. Think of a squat, while you are squatting both your hip and knee are flexed (the gluteus medius and minimus are the stabilizers/assisters during a squat), and while the hip is flexed the gluteus medius can internally rotate the thigh.
What are the two joints sartorious cross?
The two joints that the sartorius muscle crosses are the hip joint and the knee joint. The muscle originates at the anterior superior iliac spine of the hip bone and inserts at the upper medial surface of the tibia below the knee joint.
What is the antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee?
The antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee is the quadriceps muscle group. When the knee is being flexed, the quadriceps relax to allow the hamstrings to contract and bring about the flexion movement.
