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 else can I help you with?
What is the action of the startorius muscles?
Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation at the hip, and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.
How do our thighs function?
Flexion, extension, rotation, adduction of the hip, extension and rotation at the knee
how do thighs function?
Flexion, extension, rotation, adduction of the hip, extension and rotation at the knee
How many degrees of freedom are there at the knee?
The knee has 2 degrees of freedom. Flexion/Extension and varus/valgus rotation.
How does maintaining the position for full knee flexion limits the ability to maximally extend the hip both actively and passively?
Tension in the posterior cruciate ligament when maintaining flexing a knee creates a lateral rotation in the tibia. This feature plays an essential role in locking the hip for stabilization.
What muscles are used for flexing the knee?
the hamstring is used for flexing the knee
Concentric contraction of the hamstrings causes which joint action?
knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.
What are the two types of movement possible at your knee?
The principal movements occurring at this joint are flexion and extension of the leg, but some rotation also occurs in the flexed position.Flexion and extension of the knee joint are very free movements.
What does a knee joint do?
In addition to simple flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) movements, the knee joint is designed to allow for rotation, gliding, and rolling movements.
What is the longest muscle in the body and what is its action?
It is called the Sartorius muscle located in the thigh. Here is the long definition. Assists in flexing, abduction and later rotation of the hip and flexing of the knee.
The elbow and knee can rotate on?
The elbow can rotate on one plane, allowing flexion and extension movements. The knee can also rotate on one plane, enabling flexion and extension, as well as a slight degree of internal and external rotation.
Triple deformity of knee 3 conditions?
The triple deformity of the knee typically involves flexion contracture, valgus (lateral deviation) deformity, and external tibial rotation. This is commonly seen in conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis, posterior cruciate ligament deficiency, and severe osteoarthritis of the knee joint.
