There are plenty of them that are used to produce the action of walking, but mainly the muscles of the lower extremities do most of the work. These include the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductors, gastrocnemius, and soleus. The joints used are the iliofemoral (hip) joint, the tibiofemoral (knee) joint, and the talocrural (ankle) joint.
