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.

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 is the anatomy of the proximal hamstring muscles and how do they contribute to hip and knee function?
The proximal hamstring muscles are located at the back of the thigh near the hip. They consist of three main muscles: the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris. These muscles play a crucial role in hip extension and knee flexion. They help in activities like running, jumping, and bending the knee. Injuries to these muscles can affect the ability to perform these movements effectively.
What are the muscles involved in hip extension?
The muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and adductor magnus.
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.
