quadraceps
The prime mover for knee flexion is biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus. The prime mover for knee extension is the Quadriceps â?? vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris

A prime mover is the muscle that has the most influence in one direction on the joint it acts on. For example the prime mover in extension of the forearm is the triceps.
triceps brachii
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.

A prime mover is the muscle that has the most influence in one direction on the joint it acts on. For example the prime mover in extension of the forearm is the triceps.
The prime mover for back extension is the Erector Spinae. It consists of three groups ( longissimus, iliocostalis, and spinalis)
The prime mover for knee flexion is the hamstring muscle group, including the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These muscles originate from the ischial tuberosity in the pelvis and insert on the tibia and fibula, allowing them to flex the knee joint when contracting. Strengthening these muscles through exercises like hamstring curls can improve knee flexion strength and function.
