The semitendinosus and the semimembranosus muscles assist the biceps femoris in the action of flexing the knee joint. The semitendinosus and the semimembranosusmuscles also work together to perform extension of the hip joint.
The muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and adductor magnus.
The synergist to the quadriceps muscles is the rectus femoris, which is one of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps group. Additionally, the iliopsoas and the tensor fasciae latae can act as synergists during activities that involve hip flexion. These muscles assist in stabilizing and facilitating the actions of the quadriceps, particularly during movements like knee extension and hip flexion.

Vertebral Foraminal Entrapment on Hip Flexion and Knee Extension
To improve hip extension for better workout performance, focus on exercises that target the hip extensor muscles such as deadlifts, hip thrusts, and glute bridges. Additionally, incorporate stretching and mobility exercises to improve flexibility in the hip joint. Consistent practice and proper form are key to seeing progress in hip extension.
Synergists help steady movements and fixators help stablize the prime movers origin.
The purpose of the gluteus maximus is extension, including hyperextension, of the hip.

Hip and knee extension primarily involves the gluteus maximus and the hamstring muscles for hip extension, while the quadriceps are the primary muscles responsible for knee extension. The gluteus maximus helps to extend the hip joint, while the hamstrings facilitate both hip extension and knee flexion. The quadriceps, particularly the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius, are crucial for straightening the knee during extension. Together, these muscle groups work to perform movements such as standing up, walking, and running.
