3 sty 2022 · Popliteus. Origin. Anterior part of the popliteal groove on lateral surface of lateral femoral condyle. Insertion. Posterior surface of tibia in a fan-like fashion, just superior to the popliteal line. Action. Internally rotates tibia relative to femur and unlocks knee during knee flexion initiation. Innervation.
28 sie 2024 · The popliteus is a muscle within the deep compartment of the posterior leg. It lies behind the knee joint, forming the base of the popliteal fossa. Attachments: Originates from the lateral condyle of the femur and the lateral meniscus of the knee joint.
Popliteus muscle. The popliteus muscle in the leg is used for unlocking the knees when walking, by laterally rotating the femur on the tibia during the closed chain portion of the gait cycle (one with the foot in contact with the ground).
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
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 muscle assists in knee flexion and its function is decided according to the position of the lower extremity, i.e. weight-bearing or non weight-bearing, as it is a primary internal rotator of the tibia in a non weight-bearing position.
