Muscles that Move the Leg01:23

Muscles that Move the Leg

4.5K
The movement of the legs is facilitated by numerous muscles located within the anterior, medial, and posterior compartments of the thigh.
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Injury Prevention

Background:

  • The knee abduction moment is a critical factor in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
  • Single-leg landing mechanics, particularly the knee abduction moment, are not fully understood.
  • Previous research has not extensively focused on specific instructions to modify pelvic and trunk control during landing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the effect of pelvic and trunk lateral tilt-focused landing instructions on the knee abduction moment.
  • To assess changes in knee abduction moment during the single-leg drop vertical jump task after specific landing cues.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive laboratory study involving 15 healthy female participants.
  • Utilized a three-dimensional motion analysis system to capture kinematics and kinetics.
  • Participants performed single-leg drop vertical jumps with and without specific landing instructions focused on maintaining a horizontal pelvis and trunk.

Main Results:

  • A significant decrease in the peak knee abduction moment was observed post-instruction (22.6 ± 15.3 Nm to 17.9 ± 15.4 Nm).
  • Pelvic and trunk lateral tilt also significantly decreased following the landing instructions.
  • Knee abduction and internal rotation angles at initial contact decreased, though peak angles did not change significantly.

Conclusions:

  • Landing instructions emphasizing pelvic and trunk lateral stability are effective in reducing the knee abduction moment.
  • Controlling pelvic and trunk lateral tilt is a viable strategy to mitigate knee abduction moments during single-leg landings.
  • This approach may have implications for reducing the risk of knee injuries in athletes.
