    Muscles of Lower Limb Movements: S. No Joint Movement Muscles 1

    Uploaded by

    Vijay Pradeep
    The document summarizes the muscles involved in movements of the lower limb joints, including the hip, knee, ankle, and foot. It lists the muscles responsible for flexing, extending, abducting, adducting, and rotating each joint. For example, the psoas, iliacus, and rectus femoris muscles flex the hip joint, while the biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus extend the hip. At the knee, the biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus flex the joint, and the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis extend it.
