Understanding Muscles of the Lower Limb: Functions and Groups

This overview provides insights into the muscles that move the lower limb, focusing on the major muscle groups responsible for leg movement. The flexors of the knee, including the hamstring group (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus) and sartorius, are highlighted alongside the extensors from the quadriceps femoris group. Additionally, we delve into the critical muscles that facilitate ankle, foot, and toe movements, covering dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion, and listing key muscles such as the tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and soleus.
