Grade II Hamstring Stran to the Biceps Femoris Muscle

As explained by Opar (3) the hamstring consists of three muscles, biceps femoris (BF), semitendinosus (ST) semimembranosus (SM), this composes a muscle group crossing the hip and knee joint that acts synergistically in extending the hip and flexing the knee.

Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone, but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions, like the genioglossus muscle, for example, originates at the chin (geneion) and inserts in the tongue (glossus). Some muscles are named for the arrangement of the fascicle groups. For example the rectus abdominus is the straight muscle that is in the adbominus.

3) What are side affects to having a hamstring strain? Would you be able to return to a sport exactly the same after it is healed?

A pulled hamstring are injuries to three groups of muscles in the back of the thigh. The muscle is not very widely used when a person is standing or walking.

This paper is going to be over rotator cuff injuries and what to do if this occurs to an athlete. The rotator cuff consists of four muscles which are the Subscapularis, infraspinatus, teres minor, and the supraspinatus and their associated tendons that insert into the Humerus. These groups of muscles are responsible for rotating the arm internally and externally as well as abducting the shoulder. The acronym for the four muscles of the rotator cuff is known as SITS. The best treatment for symptomatic, nontraumatic rotator cuff tears is unknown. The purpose of this trial was to compare the effectiveness of physiotherapy, acromioplasty, and rotator cuff repair for this injury. The way this trial worked was that 180 shoulders with the symptomatic,

The biceps femoris is one of the three muscles including the semitendinosus, and the semimembranosus, that make up the group of muscles called the hamstrings. The hamstrings are located on the posterior side of the leg. The biceps femoris originates on the ischial tuberosity and inserts on the head of the fibula. The movement of the biceps femoris is responsible for the flexion of the knee and the external rotation of the lower leg. Flexion of the knee happens when the back of the foot is raised toward the back of the leg.

The anatomy is a major contributor to any injury. The three hamstrings are the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and the biceps femoris. The hamstrings are responsible for flexing the knee and extending the hip

Identify the major surface muscles located in the body. Where are the orgins and insertions of these muscles? List the intended actions as well as an exercise or movement for each. A minimum of fifteen muscles is required.

There are four different Hamstring muscles that run along the back of your thigh. These four muscles are called: semimembranosus and semitendinosus (medially) and biceps femoris – short and long heads (laterally). Hamstrings strains can occur for multiple reasons.

A Distal Biceps Rupture occurs when the tendon attaching the biceps muscle to the elbow is torn from the bone. The Distal Biceps Rupture is attached to a small bump on the radius bone of the forearm. This small bony bump is called the radial tuberosity. The radius is the smaller of the two bones between the elbow and the wrist that make up the forearm. The radius goes from the outside edge of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist.

The anterior aspect of the thigh is dominated by the _____, a large muscle with four heads

The quads include the rectus femoris, and the vastus lateralis, intermedius, and medialis. This muscle group shares a common tendon at insertion. The patellar tendon inserts at the tibial tuberosity, and within this tendon lies the patella. The patella is anterior to the femur-tibia articulation, and this sesmoid bone increases the leverage of the quads by acting as a pulley. The major contributor to the stability of the knee joint is the strength of the quads. The only muscle that assists in extension is the tensor fascia lata.

The rectus femoris is one of the four muscles in the quadriceps group of the body and is located in the anterior aspect of the thigh. As a bi-articular structure that crosses both the hip and knee joints, it functions to actively flex the hip and extend the knee. Thus when stretched, the rectus femoris may constrain concurrent hip extension and knee flexion. However, if the rectus femoris were to constrain neither of the two actions, the length of the muscle is established as passively sufficient. The two tests that give answer to whether the rectus femoris muscle is passively sufficient is based upon the comparisons between hip extension with knee flexed vs. extended, and/or knee flexion with hip flexed vs. extended. However, note that either test will provide the same results.

The gluteal region is an anatomical area located posteriorly to the pelvic girdle, at the proximal end of the femur. The muscles in this region move the lower limb at the hip joint. The gluteal muscle is composed of three muscles that make up the buttocks: Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, and Gluteus Minimus. They are supplied by the gluteal nerves and vessels, which reach them through the greater sciatic foramen. The gluteus maximus is the largest of the gluteal muscles and one of the strongest muscles in the human body. The gluteus medius is the second largest gluteal muscle and gluteus minimus is the smallest.
