What else can I help you with?
What muscles are involved in knee flexion?
The muscles involved in knee flexion are the hamstrings, gastrocnemius, and popliteus.
What muscles act in plantar flexion?
popliteus is not involved in plantarflexion...its involved in leg flexion
What are the primary muscles involved in hip extension and knee flexion?
The primary muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings. The primary muscles involved in knee flexion are the hamstrings and the gastrocnemius.
What muscles cause horizontal adduction in the shoulder?
The major muscles involved in horizontal adduction or flexion is the anterior deltoid fibres, pectoralis major and minor. Bicep complex(bbicep brachii, brachioradialis and forearm flexor) comes into action as synergists, if the leverage is long.The antagonists of horizontal flexion is posterior deltoid fibres,teres major, minor, lats and the associated rotator cuff muscle(infraspinatus)
How would you describe the horizontal flexion movements?
A flexion preformed across the horizontal plane.
What three muscles are involved in flexion of the elbow joint?
biceps brachii,corahobrachialis,biseps
Horizontal abduction of the glenohumeral joint. What muscles are involved?
Coracobrachialis Muscle
What is the function for the Gastonemius muscles?
plantar flexion and knee flexion
Describe the following movements of the body horizontal flexion?
Horizontal flexion is a movement where the arms move towards the front of the body in a horizontal plane. This movement occurs at the shoulder joint and involves muscles like the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and coracobrachialis. It is commonly seen in activities like hugging someone or performing a chest fly exercise.
What are the agonists muscles for shoulder extension?
The Pectoralis major (clavicular head), coracobrachialis, and biceps brachia are the synergists for shoulder flexion. For horizontal flexion, the Anterior deltoid is the synergist muscle.
What muscles are agonists in plantar flexion?
The opposite of plantar flexion is dorsiflexion. Plantar flexion means to increase the angle at the ankle, as in tip-toeing. The muscles involved in dorsiflexion (picking up the toes) are:tibialis anterior muscleextensor hallucis longus muscleextensor digitorum longus muscleperoneus tertius
