The popliteus appears to act as a dynamic guidance system for monitoring and controlling subtle transverse- and frontal-plane knee joint movements, controlling anterior-posterior lateral meniscus movement, unlocking and internally rotating the knee joint (tibia) during flexion initiation, assisting with 3-dimensional dynamic lower extremity post...

By understanding these key aspects of the recovery process, you can work with your healthcare team to ensure a smooth and successful healing journey.
We present a clinical commentary of existing evidence regarding popliteus musculotendinous complex anatomy, biomechanics, muscle activation, and kinesthesia as they relate to functional knee joint rehabilitation.
The popliteus is a small muscle residing across the posterior aspect of the knee joint, in close proximity to an array of neurovascular structures. Due to its location and muscle action, the popliteus is a big player in the healthy functioning of the knee joint.
We present a clinical commentary of existing evidence regarding popliteus musculotendinous complex anatomy, biomechanics, muscle activation, and kinesthesia as they relate to functional knee joint rehabilitation.
Dynamic functions: During initial flexion of the knee, it initiates and maintains the internal rotation of the tibia on the femur (unlocking of knee joint) and prevents forward dislocation of the femur on the tibia.
Treatment. The treatment for popliteus muscle pathology is the same as per any soft tissue injury and muscle injury or tendinopathy. RICE Therapy or PRICE Therapy (protection, rest, elevation, compression, elevation, and other anti-inflammatory drugs are given.
