    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectus_femoris_muscle

    Rectus femoris strain, referred to as hip flexor strain, [3] is an injury commonly at the tendon that attaches to the patella or in the muscle itself. The injury is usually a partial tear, but could be a full tear. The injury is caused by a forceful movement related to sprinting, jumping, or kicking and is common in sports like football or soccer.

    The hip-flexor muscles include the psoas major, iliacus and rectus femoris. They play a crucial role in hip movement, allowing you to lift your knee, bring your thigh toward your abdomen, and bend ...

  4. Patellar dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patellar_dislocation

    The patella is a floating sesamoid bone held in place by the quadriceps muscle tendon and patellar tendon ligament. Exercises should strengthen quadriceps muscles such as rectus femoris, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis. However, tight and strong lateral quadriceps can be an underlying cause of patellar dislocation.

  6. Leg raise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leg_raise

    The leg raise is a strength training exercise which targets the iliopsoas (the anterior hip flexors).Because the abdominal muscles are used isometrically to stabilize the body during the motion, leg raises are also often used to strengthen the rectus abdominis muscle and the internal and external oblique muscles.

  7. Lombard's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lombard's_paradox

    The rectus femoris biarticular muscle acting over the hip has a smaller hip moment arm than the hamstrings. However, the rectus femoris moment arm is greater over the knee than the hamstring knee moment. This means that contraction from both rectus femoris and hamstrings will result in hip and knee extension.

  8. Snapping hip syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapping_hip_syndrome

    Both active and passive stretching exercises that include hip and knee extension should be the focus of the program. Stretching the hip into extension and limiting excessive knee flexion avoids placing the rectus femoris in a position of passive insufficiency, thereby maximizing the stretch to the iliopsoas tendon.
