Document Summary

Limits abduction and rotation: pain occurs after you"ve been running for a while. If you have a lot of motion in the transverse plain you tend to tug a lot on that structure: those tugs set off an inflammation, stretching can prevent this. Sartorius (can be nearly 1 meter long! : quadriceps in the front, biceps femoris, rectus femoris. The knee: the knee is the articulation between the distal femur and the proximal tibia, the motion at the knee is restricted to flexion and extension in the sagittal plane, consists of femur, tibial plateau. In addition to the ligaments and meniscus, the flexors and the extensors of the knee tend to co- contract to stabilize the knee. In the flexor and extensor muscle groups there are several muscles that have slightly different lines of action about the knee. If these are out of balance, then the knee can be torqued in transverse or frontal planes: this often leads to pain.
