The popliteus muscle has both static and dynamic function at the knee joint. 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.
14 sty 2022 · Popliteus injuries or injuries of the popliteus musculotendinous complex occur within the scope of posterolateral corner injuries of the knee and include avulsions, complete and partial tendinous and myotendinous tears as well as muscle injuries.
8 maj 2024 · A Popliteus muscle injury is a strain or tear of a small muscle located at the back of the knee. A Popliteus strain causes pain in the back of the knee and can occur suddenly, or develop gradually over time from overuse.
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.
The popliteus muscle is a small muscle located at the back of the knee. When strained, it can cause pain and discomfort when mobilising and even at rest. It can be brought on suddenly or gradually, depending on the mechanism of injury. A physiotherapist will diagnose the popliteus strain and structure a specific treatment programme in order to ...
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. It provides both static and dynamic stability to the knee by resisting posterior tibial translation, varus instability, and external rotation. An injury or strain to the muscle or tendon can cause posterior or posterolateral knee pain.
