What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What movement occurs at the knee joint when the quadriceps femoris muscles contract?
my name is pooky....aka florida , i think it would be something to do with extension or flexsion
What joints and movements do footballers use all the time?
Footballers frequently use their hip, knee, and ankle joints to perform movements such as running, jumping, kicking, and changing direction. These movements require a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation at these joints to carry out skills and maneuvers on the field.
Which type of of movement bends the knee and brings the lower leg backward?
Extension. Extension increases an angle, as in straightening a joint. During extension, the knee or elbow are straightened.

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.
What movement occurs when the hamstrings contract eccentrically?
Knee Extension
Can the knee internally rotate?
Yes, the knee can internally rotate, but this movement is limited. Internal rotation occurs when the tibia (shinbone) rotates inward relative to the femur (thigh bone) while the knee is flexed. This motion is more pronounced in a flexed position and is essential for certain activities, such as walking and running, but excessive internal rotation can lead to injuries. Overall, the knee's primary functions are flexion and extension, with internal rotation being a secondary movement.
By shortening the rectus femoria what exercise will it perform?
knee extension and hip flexion
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.
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.
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 muscles are involved in knee extension?
The quadriceps muscles are primarily involved in knee extension.
