The most effective form of muscle training in cases of tendon problems is eccentric training because the collagen fibers will be set in the right/functional direction; For the popliteus, eccentric strengthening (closed kinetic chain) of the quadriceps is effective to reduce strain on the popliteus.
Learn about the popliteus muscle, its role, and how it can be strained. Find out the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of a popliteus strain by a physiotherapist.
Different EMG studies have shown that popliteus muscle activity increases with knee extension and downhill walking, thereby consolidating its role in the control of hyperextension of the knee joint. The referred pain pattern in case of trigger point of popliteus muscle is back of knee.
3 lut 2021 · The popliteus is a small muscle located at the back of the knee joint.
